Steam On Tesla Gaming Demo May Happen In The Near Future

Steam integration with the Tesla S and Tesla X models could be a game-changer, pun intended. It would showcase not only the raw power of the cars’ computers but also Tesla’s clout in the automotive and entertainment industries. If it becomes an exclusive feature even for just a few years, it would be a significant differentiating factor that would put Tesla further ahead of other EVs.

But just because you can do something doesn’t always mean you should, and there have already been concerns and misgivings about using the EVs to play games. There are safety concerns, of course, even if it’s not the driver playing games. The opportunities for distraction are too high, and regulatory agencies are still unsure how to proceed. Tesla will naturally put safeguards in place to ensure the safety of passengers and drivers, but people have been known to misuse and abuse those features regardless of the dangers.

There might also be stability issues, given how games are not always the most reliable pieces of software in the computing industry. There might be worries that a crashing game could have adverse effects on the entire operating system, which could, in turn, cause accidents. That said, playing games in self-driving, driverless cars is one of the scenarios painted by futurists and visionaries. As always, Tesla and Musk are the ones bold enough to take the first step forward, even if it does end up ruffling many people’s feathers.
