Oh, I'm sorry, did I miss the part where Tesla decided its cars needed to run on 'Epic Games' Unreal Engine' instead of the trusty Godot? Apparently, Tesla's 2025.20 firmware hints they’re swapping their visualization engine to Unreal, joining Rivian, Ford, and Volvo, turning cars into video game consoles on wheels. A Tesla hacker called greentheonly 'found evidence' of this move, making Tesla’s Autopilot look less like software and more like a Fortnite skin drop. And remember, their Cybertruck cameo in Fortnite wasn’t awkward at all, right? Epic doesn’t just make games; they’re transforming your ride.
