Gaming. In the car. 😐
Yeah, you’ve never had to wait around for something in your car?
Honestly, not long enough to be able to whip out a game. The closest is picking someone up at the airport, but I usually get there a few min after the flight lands.
So yeah, it’s not something I’ve really felt I needed. I’ve brought my Steam Deck with me a handful of times, but never actually used it.
Fair enough. I don’t think I’d really use it that much either but Steam has pretty great cloud saves and such so I might play a couple of rounds of Balatro or something while I waited and pick it up again back home on the couch on the Steam deck.
It’s honestly a smart idea, especially when waiting around at a charger while on a road trip or something.
You should probably take a brief walk instead. Regular, actual brakes are important to reduce fatalities.
Have you seen the dashboard on a Tesla? It’s a big tablet and that’s it. Many of the basic controls you might need easy access to are hidden behind touchscreen menus. They need to pump it with features to prevent people from thinking too much about it
While the car was in park. Never when the car was in drive, as it flat didn’t work.
You can play Need For Speed or Gran Turismo.
While you wait an hour for it to charge yeah
Was Steam getting to woke for musk, or did a contract negotiation fail?
This is a lot more boring than any of that. Just tech debt
The absurdity of this headline makes “You wouldn’t download a car” seem like a not-so-distant future PSA/ad campaign.
Yeah, with 3D printing, I can mostly download a 3D printer. If that tech gets good enough, I could conceivably download everything except the battery (FPGA for control logic).
I would totally love to download a car.
This just seems like a piss in the cherrios move. Like it wasn’t hurting anyone?

Even on cars that support it, it has always told you that you need to close Steam to put the car in drive. They don’t let you play any games while the car is in motion.
It’s been a decently good feature to have; the few times charging was a bit slow for me, it was nice to be able to play FFVI or Secret of Mana to pass the time. And it even synced my saves for when I got back home.

Cause if it’s not on the entertainment system… they’re just going to use their phone? And being afraid of technology because of a small subset of people you assume are misusing it is a little fanatical.
I bet if the Steam Deck didn’t exist you would say “just play on a PC”
Sounds like you can only play while the car is in park, so it wasn’t really a safety issue.
Anyway, who’s dumb enough to buy a car that can spy on you ?
Good luck finding a new one that doesn’t.
That’s why dumb cars are superior
Yeah, but you can’t keep buying second hand cars. Some brand really needs to start making dumb electric cars (it at least allow you to replace/upgrade the computer easily).
Yup. I’m looking into buying an EV, which naturally leads me to looking into disabling all the smart crap.
I just need it to go from A to B, and play audio from my phone on the way. That’s it. I don’t need weather reports, cameras, auto pilot, etc, I just need a pedal and an aux jack or something to connect to speakers. Oh, and the speakers are optional, I can bring my own.
As are smart TVs.
If only there were 50" pc monitors for cheap.The down votes on this comment really show how stupid people here are.
Good?
