Imagine seeing this on the freeway:
I think the universe is trying to make me hate the future.

Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.
All I can say is, OMGWTF?
Man i don’t like this future. Can we get a different one?
Augmented reality: when your existing reality is augmented with extra suckage.
Driving along with bullshit online banner ads and notations overlaid on your reality… wow, a real-time fake review of that restaurant you just drove past, written by AI for AIs and summarized by AIs for human distraction.
I know a guy who loves reading online reviews but always eats at the same 3 places. Turns out he enjoys the shitty things people say in reviews. The future of entertainment is bright!
future Darwin Award.
At least we know Clippy isn’t popping up to give him directions.
If I saw that on the freeway, I’d be accelerating to make sure they stayed behind me. When the idiot inevitably crashed due to Tesla’s notoriously unreliable “self-driving” system and his own distraction from slightly important things like whether his fancy cybertruck was going to kill him, I’d be safely in front of him and watching the resulting disaster in my rearview mirror. Oh, and if I had a passenger I’d have them calling the highway patrol in the meantime to see if maybe they could keep him from killing anyone else when he goes out.
Yet another ethical situation that is covered by the Modern Trolley Problem.
The answer? Shoot Elon Musk TWICE.
(You may object that I’ve mixed up the Trolley Problem with the ‘Lifeboat with Hitler, Stalin, a Lawyer and a gun with two bullets’, but the answer remains valid)
Please tell me his license plate and this video were passed to the relevant authorities before he literally killed someone (bus full of kids, for example) with his special blend of callous stupidity. And, if this isn’t illegal, remind me to never visit any country the sells the Tesla Killtruck.
his neuralink implant probably made him do that
No.
Unless that vehicle is Cybertronian, MY HANDS WILL STAY ON THE STEERING WHEEL. Human technology is not that advanced or intelligent.
He really has no idea what a dick he looks. Not a single trace of a clue.
One entertaining thing is, Tesla plainly states a driver is to have both hands on the wheel, ready to take over in case something unforeseen occurs. The polar opposite of what the video illustrated.
Excuse me for a bit, I need to sign out a Hellfire missile or six…
@stwriley, # 7: George Carlin once asked, “Did you ever notice that the people driving in front of you are idiots, and the people driving behind you are maniacs?”

Looks better than driving.
And no more listening to talk radio so that the rage keeps me awake!

It being a fake doesn’t change the fact that he is driving with out his hands on the wheel, so it’s still fucking stupid.
CompulsoryAccount7746, Sky Captain @ 15, if the self-driving feature wasn’t activated, who was steering the car while he was gesticulating about?
BTW, has anyone here actually sat behind the wheel on one of those? I’m curious about what the visibility is like inside one.
Simpsons did it first.
This thing needs a couple of pieces of Bremer wall air-dropped in front of it.

Knees? Jesus?
@Jazzlet:
Yep.
I fail to see the problem. This driver is clearly trying to fix a dangerous glitch in the Matrix and save humanity. He’s not being a glasshole at all.

Absolutely nothing I’ve heard about the Cybertruck makes me want to be within a one mile radius of one, much less actually drive one.
If the video showed a T-800 plugged into the controls it may not be a safety problem. The priblem starts when the terminator arrives at its target, paving the way for the Skynet takeover.
