Tesla Chief Executive Elon Musk tweeted this week that the company plans to add classic Atari video games to its infotainment system.
The games will be delivered as Easter Eggs in Tesla’s September release of its V9.0 software release. Musk said popular games Pole Position, Tempest, and Missile Command are part of the release. Pole Position, a car racing game, would tie in the Tesla’s actual steering wheel for controls while the car is stationary. Other games will leverage the car’s touchscreen or a phone.
But, it seems Tesla’s gaming efforts aren’t just around classic titles. Musk put out a call on Twitter for game developers to submit portfolios. He’s looking for “max playability and creativity.” Musk also likes the idea of integrating the car and real-world situations into games.
“Really want to make the car as fun as possible!” Musk tweeted.
