Tesla's rollout of video games that can be played by drivers on the center consoles of the automakers cars has quickly turned into a recall.

Tesla will discontinue allowing drivers to play the video games the automaker recently made available for digital screens in the center console of most Tesla vehicles.

The video games were just the latest traffic safety controversy sparked by Tesla's engineering choices.

The NHTSA had already opened an investigation into the company's autopilot feature in August.
