Tesla is reportedly working on building its own app store for its vehicles.

Tesla will be working on its own app store. This could be a game-changer in the infotainment market.

One of the benefits of using an infotainment system such as Apple CarPlay or Android Auto is the ability to download and use apps from these two platforms right in the car. This means that if you’d rather use Google Maps than your car’s native navigation system, you can do so. You can also listen to your favorite music from your favorite music streaming app like Apple Music, Spotify, Deezer or more. Tesla may want to get in on the game.

Tesla will work on its own app store

That being said, it looks like Tesla is now seriously considering using something very similar in their cars. At least that’s what TheDriven report says. We learn that the Tesla team is currently working on creating its own app store, a store that can be used in its cars in a more or less near future.

This could be a game-changer in the infotainment market.

This means that sooner or later, developers may decide to submit their applications directly to Tesla for approval and see how they are downloaded and used in the brand’s vehicles. Some rumors suggest that this app store has been in development since last year, but no one knows at this time when it might be officially launched.

Building your own app store could be very exciting and could be a new source of income for an American automaker if the brand decides to take a commission on app sales and in-app transactions, as Apple, Google or Amazon currently do. imagine that this app store would allow even smarter cars to be built, especially with Apple working on its side to design its own car. Who knows, maybe this is the beginning of a new era for the car-themed app store…
