The Verge reported that for the controls for Pole Position the user will apparently be using the car’s steering wheel to drive in the game, instead of tapping the screen or fidgeting with thumbwheels, though while the vehicle is stopped. Also, Musk said that the software update will begin to enable ‘full self-driving features’ in eligible vehicles.
