Remember when Tesla proudly showcased a suite of computer games that you could play in its cars? And remember when for drivers? Well, it sounds like Ford may be following Tesla’s lead and bringing games to its new electric truck – but you’ll only be able to play them when parked.

Last August, electric car maker Tesla announced it was launching a new Arcade feature on its cars. The firm proudly proclaimed that users would be able to play games like Sonic The Hedgehog and Cuphead on the enormous screens in the front of its cars.

But the rollout was marred by a report from the New York Times that quoted the games while driving.

This, of course, is not a safe thing to do. As a result, the NHTSA soon stepped in and ordered that to disable the ability to play games while driving.

Obviously that is the right thing to do, as a flashing screen playing Sudoku or any other arcade classicin your eyeline isn’t the kind of thing you want to be paying attention to while driving.

So now, your only transforms into the world’s largest games console when you park up.

But soon, Tesla won’t be the only automaker to offer computer games in its cars, as the feature seems to have piqued the interest of Ford.

The Blue Oval is pickup truck. And, ahead of its release, Darren Palmer, vice president global EV programs at , has teased a glimpse of things to come in the new truck’s infotainment system.

In a post on LinkedIn, Palmer shared a video of someone playing a simple driving game on their truck’s infotainment system. The game is controlled by the car’s volume wheel and sees players steer a car through traffic to collect coins.

In the post, Palmer says: “Some cute little games now . Proving a hit with my kids in final testing…”

While Tesla initially had no processes in place to make sure people weren’t gaming while driving, a Ford spokesperson has confirmed to Jalopnik that the “games are only active when the vehicle is in park.”

There is no further information on what games will be available, but we don’t have too much longer to wait as .

But what do you think to the new wave of electric cars that come with built-in games? Is it a nice touch, or are you in a hurry to leave your car as soon as you park up, therefor in no time to play computer games?
