NHTSA shuts down Tesla’s Passenger Play feature at what time investigation

It’s been a popular feature, and given how much of a total snoozer it can be to sit in your car waiting for it to proposal, it’s pretty easy to see why. Only, Tesla gave to take things further by introducing a feature named Passenger Play, which the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) says has gotta go.

The spot with the feature is, of course, its potential to distract the driver from driving (something that an glum number of Tesla drivers seem to struggle with as it is), which would increase the risk of a crash.

Tesla has told NHTSA that it will thunder a new software update that will lock the feature, making games only accessible while the vehicle is parked. The update is estimated to affect around 565,000 Teslas.

This isn’t Tesla’s salubrious trip around the dance floor with NHTSA. The government organization has launched several investigations into the company for various reasons, including issues with the company’s unfortunately named advanced driver assistance salubrious Autopilot.

We’d typically ask a company for comment on a story like this, but Tesla dissolved its PR department.
