Hello.
I really like Tesla. I believe that it is the leader of its industry and one of the most promising companies in the world. Their innovations have always struck me.

Tesla, Inc. is gambling on the rise of poker in China by announcing the launch of a novel in-car update. Set to go live in early 2020, the new software will give Chinese Tesla owners access to two poker games. Very interesting....

Tesla to Gamble on Poker with Chinese In-Car Software Update


This will be a really nice feature if you use the automated driverless function.

You can play poker while you are bored in the back seat.

Good luck !

I remember the old days when cars were meant for getting from point A to point B. Who sits in their parked car for hours playing poker on a dashboard gambling system? I guess I won't be an early adopter.

Interesting. The Chinese people can´t keep their mind calm even when driving a machine. 20 min are enough for a lot of chinese poker. LOL

A promising solution, especially considering the marketing capabilities of Tesla.

Yes, an interesting article. It has long been necessary to integrate gaming platforms with cars, planes and trains))))

There are enough distractions on the roads, we don't need more morons not paying attention to the road, it won't be long before an intelligent Chinese programmer comes up with a patch to make it usable while driving.

:hmmmm:

Maybe the traffic jams are caused by those playing games while in traffic instead of paying attention to the road and keep the traffic moving.

:dontknow:

There are a lot of Chinese. This market is attractive to any business. Therefore, nothing surprising. In addition, it is known that the Asian region is very fond of gambling.

I personally hate this idea! We already have issues with people not knowing how to drive, do they need more help with making it worse?

I don't see a place for poker, gaming or anything else computer related for safety's sake when it comes to moving vehicles even if the vehicle is parked.

Imagine 20 years of Tesla, how do you think people will drive then? Practice makes perfect but if your car always drives itself what’s gonna happen if eventually you have too ? I’m talking of younger generations in the future .. Dif gonna be interesting.

I’ve done this in traffic jams on my mobile. But only when the traffic is dead stopped.

I was thinking it was for self driven cars or people being driven by hired drivers. I’m not sure if they want they customers driving with AA and river gives trip 2s for a donkey. Lol

One thing some of us missed in the article, the App would not be usable unless the vehicle was parked.

What would concern me, I guess, is this idea could still cause issues even in stop and go traffic. I already dislike when I see people texting while driving and can't imagine what it would be like getting behind someone who threw the car into park at every chance...lol.. AND the pilot is happening in China!

I think Elon just have enough money to do fool things.
Because last times his direct marketing does not give good results.
Well, anyway wait and see, Elon is done well anyway.

Applying road safety to tesla gagdets results in fast comparison with russian roulette. With many cars smaller than tesla's, the tesla driver pulls the trigger and someone else dies (statistically).

This sounds wild .. definitely does not belong in the dash board .. I could see adding a screen in the back seat for passengers ..

There is a high chance if someone was doing anything other than driving while driving it could result in an accident if that makes sense. The article states the car would have to be in park to play any poker - I still do not think this is a good idea.

Maybe access to the game will be available only in traffic when the car is not moving. Or for the game is only for the passenger.

Knowing us players, we will like to continue playing while driving. The feature need restriction embedded. In stuck traffic you are still driving. It should only work if the car is in parking.

The new company motto could be: "Tesla - catering to addicts since 2003" :)
