Tesla’s Next Update: Battle Royale Mode NPC behavior on the Freeway
Elon Musk’s latest Steam in cars update for Tesla’s self-driving system has introduced a Battle Royale mode for drivers who just don’t find commuting exciting enough.
According to the update notes, the last Tesla standing on the freeway gets free Supercharging for a year.
• Blue Shell Mode: Randomly launch an EMP blast at the nearest Prius.
• Loot Boxes: Stop at esports designated areas for power-ups like Nitro Boost or ‘Increase Your Credit Score’.
• Final Circle: As traffic converges, only one Tesla will remain. Will it be YOU?
Musk defended the move, tweeting, “Normal driving is boring. Let’s make it more interesting.”
While critics are mobile gaming worried about widespread automotive chaos, Musk insists that survival of the fittest is just the next step in natural selection.
Gaming is the REAL reason for Musk’s self-driving car
