This is a safety precaution as the screen will also be on the dashboard. Although, when self-driving cars get full approval, the video service will be activated even while the car is in motion.
Elon Musk revealed this new feature in a series of tweets. In additions, the previously unveiled gaming and entertainment plans revealed by Tesla is coming soon. They made the announcement in June at the video game trade show, E3.
The exact date is still a mystery, but the car’s video game support should feature in the new update. The upcoming V10 update will feature multimedia portals like YouTube and Netflix.

More games will also be included alongside improvements to Autopilot and Smart Summon. The latter is the technology that lets your Tesla drive to you from a parking lot via the app on your phone.
Tesla also has an internet package that allows users to access satellite view, web browser and in-car streaming music. These features, according to Musk, will be tied to Tesla’s premium package dubbed premium connectivity.
Musk also added that Tesla users can schedule service appointments via their Tesla phone apps.
