The Tesla Model S Can Now Have the Rumble of a Gas Engine with Help from Mutual Mobile


AUSTIN, Texas, June 30, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Mutual Mobile who helps companies expand their business using IoT, Virtual Reality, and other emerging technologies unveiled the first 3rd party concept app for the Tesla. This app adds physics accurate engine sounds to the Tesla Model S. Using the Tesla Model S Touchscreen drivers can select from a muscle car, motorcycle, airplane, and even a spaceship and have it seamlessly piped through the vehicle's speakers.

"Internet being built into vehicles represents never before possible business models for the automotive industry.  The Tesla Model S was the first car that actually gets better after you purchase it through software updates. Soon 3rd party software developers will reolutionize the car the same way they did for the smartphone," said Mutual Mobile's Chairman, John Arrow



To demonstrate this possibility Mutual Mobile created a concept app called Tesla Gas Engine. This tongue & cheek app makes use of Tesla's Touchscreen web browser for the app's driver interface and the iPhone 6S built in accelerometer & GPS for telemetry. Then the simulated engine roar is output via the car's Bluetooth speakers with acoustic accuracy.
