U.S. authorities have opened an investigation into whether Tesla driver could play video on their vehicle’s center touch screen, while it is moving.

According to the agency, “Passenger Play,” a feature that distracts drivers can increase crash risk.

A spokesperson for NHTSA stated in an email that the agency had received one complaint from an owner regarding the gameplay capability. “To date, this functionality has been made available in Tesla passenger play-equipped vehicles since December 2020.” Prior to this point, gameplay could only be enabled when the vehicle had been in park.

This probe covers the four Tesla Models S, X, Y, and 3. It was designed to “evaluate the potential driver distraction of Tesla ‘Passenger play’ during vehicle driving.” The feature will be evaluated by investigators, which include the frequency and usage scenarios for Tesla “Passenger play.”

National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has surveyed approximately 580,000 vehicles, including SUVs and electric cars from 2017-2022.

NHTSA records do not include any injuries or crashes caused by this problem.

Recalls can result from an investigation. Tesla’s media relations team was not available for comment on Wednesday morning.

Vince Patton is a Tesla owner and lives in Portland, Oregon. filed the complaint Last month, he met with the agency. He discovered, while watching YouTube videos of Tesla owners, that his touch screen could play video games even when the car is in motion.

Patton, curious to experience it for himself, drove his 2021 Tesla Model 3 to a empty parking lot at a community college, and activated “Sky Force Reloaded,” a game he had selected from a menu. He then did several loops.

Patton is a 59 year-old retired broadcast journalist living near Portland, Oregon.

Solitaire was also a game he tried and he could activate it while driving. He discovered that he was able to browse the internet even while driving.

Patton is a Tesla fan and loves his car. However, he worries that Tesla drivers might play dangerously distracting games.

He said, “Somebody is going to be killed.” It is absolutely crazy.

The complaint was filed by the plaintiff in January.

Patton complained that the NHTSA should prohibit any live video inside the driver’s seat or live interactive browsing in the car while it is moving. Recklessly negligent is creating a danger for the driver.

A little earlier in December Mercedes-Benz issued a recall A similar problem was caused by an error in computer configuration, prompting questions as to whether Tesla is allowed to do anything that others automakers cannot. While vehicles are being driven, most automakers disallow front touch screens.

Mercedes drivers were able to browse the internet while driving their Mercedes cars. According to the automaker, it planned to turn off the functions while cars are moving. This issue was fixed by upgrading a Mercedes server.

NHTSA has already begun investigating the reason Tesla’s Autopilot partially automated driving program keeps colliding with stopped emergency vehicles. It also inquired why Tesla failed to file recall documentation when it made an over-the–air update to correct this safety problem. After receiving a complaint about Tesla’s Full Self-Driving software, it is now investigating its performance.

Tesla asserts that no system is capable of driving vehicles, and drivers need to be ready for intervention at all times.
