Telsa will use Chromium for its in-car browser

It’s well-known that Tesla’s in-car browser has its share of issues. So, when someone brought this up with Elon Musk on Twitter, the company’s CEO says Tesla is going to upgrade the browser to Chromium. Google’s open-source browser project generates code for Chrome and other browsers or vendors outside of Google. This doesn’t mean Chrome is coming to Tesla, but it could mean the Chromium code will power the new browser. What isn’t known is when this will happen. It could be something that will come out soon or many years down the line. A recent update fixed some issues with the current browser, which should be enough for some users until Chromium version does come out.

More details about Apple’s rumoured game subscription service. According to Bloomberg’s sources, the service will bundle paid games for a monthly fee but it would likely exclude “freemium” games where you need to make in-app purchases to unlock everything. Developers will reportedly get paid by Apple splitting subscription fees based on how often people play a studio’s game. So, in theory, it’ll reward those compelling, popular titles that issue out fresh updates for their games.

Rumour has it Apple might talk about its plans for this as soon as the March 25th event or we could hear more about this at WWDC in early June since Apple might want to focus on its upcoming news and streaming service on Monday.
