The error allows 'vehicle occupants to activate those functions while the vehicle is driving.' The problem covers only 227 vehicles, but Mercedes issued the recall for them because 'if an occupant were to actively select the function or application while the vehicle is driving, then driver distraction might result which could increase the risk of a crash,' the company told the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). What's important to know is that this screen was designed so that you can't see a single lit-up pixel from the driver's position.ДЄs for Mercedes, the German automaker issued a recall for four models-the 2021 S580 and the 2022 EQS450, EQS 580, and S500-when it discovered that some of those vehicles on the road had been programmed with an 'incorrect configuration' on Mercedes-Benz's back-end server and potentially on the MBUX infotainment system in these vehicles.

The 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee, for example, can have two rear-seat infotainment screens as well as a screen in the dashboard for the front-seat passenger to be able to interact with the navigation system the driver sees as well as do things like watch streaming Amazon Fire TV content. safety regulators for years now, even as cars get more connected and in-cabin screens multiply and continue to grow larger.

Minimizing distracted driving has been at the forefront of the agenda for U.S. In the case of Tesla, the Associated Press video clip below shows that the driver can easily play while driving. Specifically, both Tesla and Mercedes have permitted people to play video games on the car's touchscreen while the vehicle is in motion, although Mercedes considers it a mistake and is recalling vehicles to remedy the problem, while Tesla has not yet done that. The latest example of Tesla's different approach is the way it and Daimler have each responded to recent questions of safety and in-car entertainment. Tesla runs counter to the traditional auto industry in a lot of ways, from the tweets of CEO Elon Musk to starting as an all-electric automaker in the early 2000s. A NHTSA spokesperson said in a statement that it had spoken about the issue with Tesla and intended to open a formal investigation into whether the capability encouraged distracted driving.

UPDATE 12/23/21: Tesla is issuing an over-the-air software update to lock the 'Passenger Play' function of its touchscreens while the vehicle is in motion, according to the Associated Press.

Tesla, which allowed the moving games through an over-the-air update this summer, has not taken any public steps to fix the problem, but NHTSA said this week it is aware of the situation.

Mercedes says it made a mistake in allowing the in-motion games-which happens in only a couple hundred vehicles-and has issued a voluntary recall to fix the problem.

But the way the companies are reacting shows a world of difference.

Vehicles from both Tesla and Mercedes currently allow some video games to be played on the main touchscreen while the car is moving.
