New Teslas might lose Steam - Lemmy.World

Why is a car capable of playing games in the first place. I understand it’s not going to allow people to play while they drive but still. That just seems like an odd/bad idea.
Why a bad idea? Why an odd idea? It’s a powerful computer with a decent size monitor in a place where sometimes people have to sit and wait. What am I missing because seems like a logical / good idea to me?

Why can’t it wait until you get home? We took ashtrays out of cars, so why would we put another addictive and distracting thing in there?

I play games too, but I also recognize that they can overwhelm some people.

Lol, games are far far far less addictive than cigarettes. Cigarettes has nicotine which is an actual addictive drug. Games are fun.

Even comparing them at all is fairly disingenuous.

It’s not distracting anyone, I doubt it could even be played if you are in a queue that is moving at 0,3 m/s

I’m not trying to compare them on a chemical or scientific level.

I’m just saying that I was able to quit cigarettes and I have had some friends who are not able to quit video games, so it is at least a little addictive for some people, and those people would not be better served by one more place to play.

I quit heroin but I have friends that can’t give up coffee…we should remove cupholders from cars while we are at it.

Hey, congrats! I’m 14 years clean from heroin myself.

Ok, I can see my opinion is in the minority here. Games in cars seems like a bad idea to me, but I’m not the king of cars.

Well, you didn’t explain why they’re bad, that’s probably why

As others pointed out it’s incredibly nice for the times when you’re not doing anything but are in your car, anyway. If the ability to play games is disabled while driving then is there actually an issue?

Seems like a great way to kill time while plugged into a charger to me, I already do it with my steam deck when I charge my car
