Would gaming on the center display be a feature you would use if it was part of an OTA? Would you pay for it as an OTA?

even if I had to pay a small one time fee

That would depend on the game i guess

No, because I own phones and tablets. There's more important things for the software developers to focus on. Every second putting a game on there is a second not doing useful work.

I wouldn't spend any meaningful time playing games, but I'd check them out if they were free.

I'd probably pay if I could use FordPass Points. I don't think I'll use many of them on oil changes.

 

[JamieGeek]

Not in the least bit interested.

 

[jhalkias]

Nope . . . I don't even play many games on my phone or iPad.
Now . . . Netflix or YouTube while charging . . . I would like to see that.

I understand this is a lot more difficult, but what I'd really like is a way to provide feedback to the development teams to improve my vehicle and/or future vehicles.

This could be periodic in-car or in-app surveys to start off with.

Ultimately, I want a free form box where I can dictate or write my suggestion to help drive the product managers.

It would be fun for 5 minutes as I show it off to friends. Then I probably wouldn't use it again.

Amending my response:

I don't want any games but I would like a web browser. Not to play games but perhaps to log into a hotel's website, or movie theater's or something else related to travel.

Yes I (or the passenger) could do all said things on their phone but it would be much easier on "the big screen" (much like I prefer using a tablet or a laptop over using my phone) but then I'm probably old school and just like that big screen.

Netflix and/or a web browser could be perfectly useful. I'd consider paying a small fee for it.

It depends on what game. Is it something like some silly tile game? Or are we talking something more advanced like streaming Google Stadia or Microsoft Project XCloud, where I could stream a full HD console game right to the car's screen and use my Xbox controller to play it? A perk of Stadia/XCloud would be Ford wouldn't have to do any "game design" and just be a screen for Google/Microsoft to stream to, let them keep everything up to date.

If it's some silly tile game or solitaire, hard pass, I'll just walk around the charging station and play Pokemon Go on my phone.

If it's Forza Motorsport 7 streamed in HD from Project XCloud via the car's modem, and I can plug in (or bluetooth pair) my Xbox controller to the car, then absolutely I'd like that. I'd hop into a quick race while I wait for the car to charge. Or hop into a Call of Duty: Warzone battle royale match. I'd be willing to pay for that.

I think YouTube, Netflix, etc. should be a higher priority though, as I think they have broader appeal.

Or a web browser. Chrome would be nice.

 

[ChasingCoral]

I'd definitely prefer a web browser, YouTube, and Netflix.

I voted no since it would just be an inferior experience to a switch or even a phone, the one exception which would never ever happen for multiple reasons is My Summer Car. Or Jalopy. Give me a car game that isn’t a racing game and I’d try it I guess.

That would be awesome, but I assume the modem and 4G connection the car has probably has data caps that wouldn't support something like Stadia. Maybe if they offer an upgraded plan for just that? ?
