Obviously that guy is dumb enough to do this, he bought a cyber truck...
This guy definitely has a crypto wallet and a monkey jpeg
I doubt he has a crypto wallet of his own. Probably an account on coinbase though.
If you want a “self driving vehicle,” buy a horse.
or just take a train.
That's great if there's a train that goes where you need to go. For most people in the US that happens approximately never.
If only something could be done about it but it seems for some reason the laws of physics don't allow trains in north America
Emphasis on "in the U.S." :(
Also the only place that stupid fucking Tesla truck is legal.
Look at Mr Fancy pants with horse money over here.
As someone who gets both car sick and VR sick, this seems like my worst nightmare.
I wouldn't last more than 15 seconds before projectile vomiting.
A lot of the people that drive these things are acting like children in adult bodies. I have seen some wildly dumb shit happen. It's like the car company created by the Darwin Awards...
I literally once saw someone eating on a little folding table/desk of some sort in their Tesla (driver seat, of course) with the dash screen playing some sort of media.
Another time, the person was playing a handheld gaming console of some sort, in the driver seat.
An the automatic lane switching doesn't adjust for people speeding up in the passing lane well. I've seen a couple near accidents there.
Stupidity. Stupidity never changes.
"You can't fix stupid" - Ron White
People have always been idiots behind the wheel. I started driving before personal electronics and touchscreens were a thing. You still saw people bracing books or newspapers against the steering wheel with their thumbs so they could read as they drove down the highway. Now it’s watching movies, texting or other social media, video conversations, reading…
Just seems that there are way more people doing it. The social contract gets more broken every day.
“Reminder – ALL advanced driver assistance systems available today require the human driver to be in control and fully engaged in the driving task at all times,” Buttigieg said.
This is not entirely true anymore. If you're in a 2024 Mercedes EQS Sedan driving in Nevada (Edit: or California) at less than 40 mph, you are allowed to take your hands off the wheel and your eyes off the road.
Lol that's oddly specific.
Test road?
No, Mercedes is the first one to market with a level 3 (fully self driving) system, which is available with their top of the line sedan.
They applied for certification and got it from the state of Nevada. (Edit: And California)
The system itself is limited to 40mph.
Wow, is Mercedes advertising that at all?
Engadget tried it in LA in September ‘23. (Piped)
Interestingly, still can’t use your phone due to CA law - but can watch videos, browse the web, as long as you stay <=40 MPH (65 km/h).
And it’s Mercedes’ fault if it crashes!
When HMD becomes permanently part of their face upon airbag deployment they might finally realize it was a bad idea.
Realization might only last for about a millisecond or two.
At some point, doctors are gonna tell a guy, "your face is already irreparably damaged by these AR devices in your sniff.. just as an experiment, why not improve the enhancements surgically?" And that's how cyberpunk 2077 gets on the rails.
Building a new 6 Million Dollar Man.
Except that’s what you now have in medical debt.
It's like they're competing for being the most punchable.
This is one of the things about assisted driving tech that's always confused me. It seems unlikely that we will have fully self-driving cars soon, but the illusion of being able to be absent while driving seems really dangerous. It doesn't seem like an improvement to me to remove the human element from most of the driving tasks while also requiring that human to spring into action seemingly at random.
Like don't get me wrong, people do dumb shit on the road with or without assistance, but having a system that requires human involvement at a zero-to-hero level seems like a bad system.
Then again, based on this actual content, maybe people just shouldn't be allowed to own vehicles full stop.
viral videos
Single video..
If this prompts the US government, why is the rising pedestrian deaths not promoting action?
I really don't think these are staged. All its doing is making Vision Pro users look like assholes
Edit: misread the OP comment. Thought they were saying Apple was staging these videos. I do believe that this video is probably staged by someone
The thing doesn’t work when you’re moving and the cameras detect that your surroundings are moving. It is 100% staged.
