Whatever the cost is for high speed internet service specifically for a car is, it will never be worth it. Like GeForce Now uses like 100mbps for their highest quality stream, data caps and cost for uncapped or like a terabyte a month or something specifically for my car, not worth. A Steam Deck is cheap mini-pc/laptop territory.

If gaming in a car actually mattered, there'd be an option to put a small 720p-1080p display in the middle of the car facing the backseats and it'd just have a Ryzen HX-370 or better tucked somewhere and then people can play pretty much everything a Steam Deck can but with better performance

All these companies saw steamdeck and just said "I know how to make that but shittier!".

Seriously people don't let friends do this. A few months of the data and subscription and you could have just gotten a steam deck. And a steam deck can go other places a car can't. Many other places in fact.

Seriously how many people are going to be sitting in a parking lot playing this? Or if you have kids or if you are in a car a lot and aren't the driver.... Why not just get a steam deck. It's a dumb idea.

The 2007 Peugeot Flux concept car actually had an Xbox 360 built into the dashboard:

The past really had such high hopes for the future...
