Waiting for someone while being parked away in the car can be quite a pain but looks like Musk has got it covered with his new plan.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk recently confirmed that people would soon be able to stream videos on digital platforms like Netflix and Youtube in parked Tesla electric vehicles.
“Ability to stream YouTube and Netflix when car is stopped coming to your Tesla soon! Has an amazingly immersive, cinematic feel due to the comfy seats & surround sound audio,” Musk wrote on his Twitter handle.
“When full self-driving is approved by regulators, we will enable video while moving,” he added.
