Tesla V10 and VO!

Oct 01, 2019 A-Dawg link
The launch of Tesla's Version 10.0 OS update already comes with pre-installed with games such as Cuphead. Why not pull another fast-one on the online gaming community (A fully realized sandbox space MMO for mobile? You must be crazy!) and corner the... charging market with a rollout of VO on all Tesla vehicles in time for V11?

Think about it! Tesla already supports Bluetooth controllers for their dash systems. Instead of mashing buttons making ol' Cuphead decapitate daisies, you could fit an hour or so of PVP with the person in the next stall as your vehicle juices up for that road trek ahead!

Think of the Elon tweets!

Elon Musk and John Bergman, the greatest partnership of 2020!

Seriously though: as a future Tesla owner, this would be epic. It would also give my passengers something to do other than "caraoke."

The ability to play Vo in VR was the single reason I got a galaxy phone with Gear VR. It could very well be the reason I get a Telsa ;)

Hah. It would be cool :).

I was at the CES where the first pre-production Tesla was shown, with the integrated NVIDIA Tegra chip and the like, and we joked that it could run VO (I was there to promote development of VO for Android on the Tegra, in the early days).

Now, does the Tesla also offer network connectivity to built-in games?

It's Probable

Premium Connectivity adds satellite-view maps with live traffic visualization, in-car streaming music & media, an internet browser (for Model S and Model X) and over-the-air software updates via Wi-Fi and cellular.

That only means that Tesla has some applications that are loaded onto its car's operating system that have internal software permissions to access the network. That does not mean a software company can independently design software that will have network permissions when loaded onto the car.

My understanding from watching the various youtube review videos isthat the current games on offer are entirely Tesla-provided through partnerships with development studios.

A more relevant article would be this one: https://interestingengineering.com/tesla-might-launch-platform-for-official-third-party-apps

Seems like they are pursuing the idea, but it's a way out.

My suggestion is that Incarnate knocks on Elon's door and gets in bed with him, as the expression goes, as a partnered development studio.

Opening to third-party platforms would be cool though.
