"LG's in-vehicle entertainment platform will soon come integrated with an Xbox app for select internet-connected vehicles. Yes, people will be able to play full games on their infotainment systems, as long as they have an Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription so that they can stream titles available on the service, as well as games they already own. They'll, of course, need to switch on internet access on their cars and to use a compatible Bluetooth controller to be able to play games."
"The companies didn't say how they're ensuring that drivers themselves don't play games while on the road, such as during traffic stops. A 2020 study revealed that drivers are increasingly playing games behind the wheel, while an earlier study showed that advanced infotainment systems can take a driver's attention off the road. Both LG and Xbox, however, specifically mentioned that the feature is for passengers."
LG's in-vehicle entertainment platform will integrate an Xbox app for select internet-connected vehicles. Passengers with an Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription can stream available titles and play owned games through the infotainment system. Internet access in the car must be enabled and gameplay requires a compatible Bluetooth controller. Examples of playable games include Don't Starve, Mafia: The Old Country and Forza Horizon 5. The companies stated the feature is intended for passengers but did not explain technical measures to prevent driver use while the vehicle is in motion. Past incidents include Tesla's in-motion gaming function being investigated by the NHTSA and subsequently disabled.
