Entertainment for autonomous drivers
The Battle of Polytopia is a 4X world-building game. Players strategize to command one of fifteen tribes to defeat opponents and build an empire. You can play alone, with friends in the "Pass & Play" mode, or against online opponents in the multiplayer mode.
This game is a favorite of Musk's who mentioned many times in 2019 how much he likes it. The developers of the game even created a video where they added a character called Elon Musk.
Cat Quest is an action video game set in an open world kingdom called Felingard. Players direct a cat who is on a journey to rescue his kidnapped sister.
Finally, Solitaire is a single-player card game also known as Klondike. It has been around for a long time and used to come with every old PC. Tesla will now allow you to choose the difficulty level which you wish to play.
