Smartphone as Game Controller? Sonic the Hedgehog!

Wanted to play the Sonic the HedgeHog game, but it requires a game controller to use.

Seems logical and simpler that you could just use your iPhone or Android device to act as a game controller...and everyone already has one. No buying a new controller.

Don't know if this has been discussed or if this suggestion can be submitted to Tesla?

Thanks for the input!

Buy a controller? I couldn't play a game on a phone without having physical buttons. If buying a controller do a better job than I did. I've a PS4 controller and an xbox controller PS4 won't work in the Tesla, xbox works with everything yet Sonic says "requires a controller" so I can't start the game.
 
Xbox controllers work with Sonic. I was playing it yesterday. It's buggy so you have to hit a variety of buttons (can't remember which started it) and possibly restart the game to get it to work.

Not the controller I have, I've mashed every button on that thing and it did f all. Started some other random games and worked perfectly. I can't start Sonic it just says requires a controller and mashing the buttons on the controller that does work in other games does nothing. They need a controller calibration screen so you can test that it works then check a box so it forces all games to use it. That or sell a controller that actually works however I'm two controllers deep at this stage.
