So Elon Musk wasn’t even original in his decision to put video games in the dash of the Model S? It’s still a really dumb idea, whether by him or by Citroën, let’s be real here, though at least Pong isn’t in the center and appears to be more of a parked-car entertainment option.
I do not understand how that wheel is supposed to work though
You turn it to make the car turn.
It's hardly a difficult idea to come up with. I don't know why anyone would assume he was the first
Of course it’s not a difficult idea, its just such an obviously stupid idea that I can’t believe it made it past the brainstorming phase
What's stupid about it? You got a big screen and potential waiting times up to an hour at superchargers (or any other such situation), so why not throw in some games
It’s fine for things like that, but somebody with actual sense had to tell Elon that you can’t have streaming movies and video games going in the center console when the vehicle is in motion. That was A Thing he wanted it to do. I’m assuming that at least that was never on the table for the Citroën.
