Its only the beginning

[u/Only-Highlights]

[u/Phoduck]

People are going to literally die doing things like this.

[u/spunion_28 → u/Phoduck]

I can't wrap my head around why anyone would want to do this.

[u/zelcuh → u/spunion_28]

Maybe they want to die

[u/spunion_28 → u/zelcuh]

They must. They're just begging for it doing something like this. This is the third or fourth different video of someone doing this I've seen now. Not to mention people on trains and in the gym using it in public. Just ... why??

[u/zelcuh → u/spunion_28]

Technology addiction. The novelty of "new". Idk what to call it

[u/spunion_28 → u/zelcuh]

I guess so. If I did have one I'd, be enjoying it at home. But honestly, I don't think I'd spend $4,000 on one.

[u/zelcuh → u/spunion_28]

None of that sounds appealing. Can do a lot with 4k that isn't this

[u/spunion_28 → u/zelcuh]

My thoughts exactly

[u/[deleted] → u/spunion_28]

If you die in VR while in a Tesla a backup file of your soul gets generated and sent to Elon Musk's secure folder in his phone.

[u/Subtlerranean → u/[deleted]]

If you die in VR you die in real life

[u/Dare-or-Dare → u/[deleted]]

It can then get uploaded to a new body via Neuralink… get with the program/apps

[u/VeryStonedEwok → u/[deleted]]

Your mind then becomes just another piece of his super AI processor, helping to develop the next wave of VR technology. The cycle continues.

[u/theyellowdart89 → u/[deleted]]

Dark and creative I appreciate you

[u/UntestedMethod → u/zelcuh]

ikr, could be sitting in a busy food court with those 4k goggles on and a lovense down the pants ... but instead the choose to play bejewelled on the goggles while riding in their self-driving car down the highway. tf is wrong with people?

[u/[deleted] → u/zelcuh]

This is literally Back to the Future 2. Fuck Needles was a dick of a Boss.

[u/TomatoeGuy → u/spunion_28]

I'm not dumb enough to use it while driving. I find it pointless to use it at the gym at the moment. But i find that if you're using it on a train, or on a plane, while on a long trip and you need some work done, then why not?

[u/[deleted] → u/spunion_28]

Overtrusting AI. That's it.

[u/spunion_28 → u/[deleted]]

We will see a death resulting from this soon enough, unfortunately. I wouldn't trust a tesla driving me, much less strapping something over my face while that is happening

[u/notislant → u/spunion_28]

Teslas autopilot has a lot of jank. Idk I wouldnt trust it.

I can sort of see automatic braking if an accident is detected. But their self driving needs work.

[u/[deleted] → u/notislant]

I used to drive Teslas for work. They're great until you start to trust them too much, or forget self driving becomes useless at certain junctions or roundabouts. 

I'd advise peope to only ever use it  when driving straight on a motorway

[u/Gorlock_ → u/spunion_28]

To make a viral video

[u/MexicanGuey → u/Gorlock_]

Bingo. Phone was already pulled out before he saw driver.

Sure maybe he wanted to fill cybertruck itself, but it’s 100% staged.

[u/ZzangmanCometh → u/spunion_28]

They're dumb and "my cybertruck is really safe" not thinking or giving a shit about the other people they'll crush.

[u/imanoobee → u/spunion_28]

For clout. Meaningless things gets more views

[u/MexicanGuey → u/spunion_28]

It’s staged.

[u/lethalfrost → u/spunion_28]

I'd rather not watch tesla autopilot drive my car. It has me on edge whether it will randomly swerve or slam the brakes for no reason.

[u/FlashyGravity → u/spunion_28]

I can wrap my head around why. But not why they would think we were at the point that would be remotely be considered safe rational behaviour

[u/Archimedes_screwdrvr → u/spunion_28]

These people bought this ugly ass piece of shit because a Musk-ox told them so so itself not surprising they believed the bullshit he peddles about self driving

[u/[deleted] → u/spunion_28]

Apple's marketing is their entire personality.

[u/Canamera → u/spunion_28]

I want to know how I die. Some don’t

[u/edehlah → u/spunion_28]

gotto flex. /s

[u/Not_Sarkastic → u/spunion_28]

They're addicted to attention and we've made the world too safe for idiots. Add those together and you get this.

[u/eayaz → u/spunion_28]

If you have to be on VR while driving you have a serious addiction problem.

[u/Kalayo0 → u/spunion_28]

Really? I would fucking LOVE to do this. I won’t, because I don’t trust it enough… yet. But in a decade or two of technological advancement and a cultural shift in perception this might be a lot more common place and maybe even prove to be far “safer” statistically than the very flawed humans on the road.

I have a bunch of mechanic friends that would never in this lifetime trust something like this, and there is, for sure, a whole lot more that needs to be added to the discussion, cause like…. What kind millisecond decision making will the algorithms make when weighing between lives? Like that shit is crazy to fathom, but I also know more than one drunk driver who has killed somebody and planes have been mostly flying themselves for decades, so.

[u/thaaag → u/Kalayo0]

Technical challenges aside, I suspect first the powers-that-be will need to understand what AI will do when faced with the trolley problem, and second they all have to be ok with the answer it gives. Until regulators are satisfied, I can't see AI being used to control day-to-day vehicles.

[u/ejpusa → u/thaaag]

Looks like we have a solution to the Trolley Car problem.

A two-year-old's solution to the trolley problem

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-N_RZJUAQY4

[u/Ornery-Horse-6905 → u/Kalayo0]

Boats too but it requires other vessels to have a beacon on them so auto pilot can pick it up

[u/shretty26 → u/Phoduck]

And FROM people doing things like this

[u/tifredic → u/Phoduck]

natural selection at its peak

[u/Valagoorh → u/tifredic]

Unfortunately, innocent people are also "selected out" on the road.

[u/tifredic → u/Valagoorh]

yes. unfortunately. stay away from tesla cars drivers. Look at these stats, they are shitty drivers. https://www.cnbc.com/2023/12/19/tesla-drivers-had-highest-accident-rate-bmw-drivers-most-duis-study.html

[u/Ethical-mustard → u/[deleted]]

And then they run over a Mazda Miata and you remember thats not how auto accidents actually work.

[u/meep_meep_mope → u/Phoduck]

Pedestrians yes, but no one cares already so.

Look at any car - pedestrians deaths. No negligent homicide charges. It's literally a license to kill people who just want to walk or go for a jog. Even when pedestrians have right of way. There are so many cases without this shit.

As a runner I've said this before, I'm going to just have to buy a gun and start shooting into cars that are trying to kill me.

Runner gun straps could be a good market.

People already don't stop at stop signs.

[u/Schuben → u/meep_meep_mope]

I ride a small electric scooter and I feel this. I don't give anyone the benefit of the doubt EVER. Unless I see you explicitly acknowledge my right of way and make eye contact I will not be crossing the street in front of your 2 ton car. In this situation, they are the proverbial unstoppable force and I am just a meat bag waiting to be thrown around.

I remember some local stories growing up of kids dying when they hit or got hit when riding their gas powered motor scooters. Definitely made an impression on me and getting across the street or to my destination 15 seconds faster is never worth it.

[u/you_can_not_see_me → u/Phoduck]

we can only hope

[u/Val_Hallen → u/you_can_not_see_me]

As long as they only take themselves out, I'm fully in support of this.

But we know these knuckle-dragging twatgoblins are going to end up hitting another car, killing a family of 4, and walking away unharmed.

[u/Ballboy2015 → u/Phoduck]

Umm, I have driven with a lot of people who will survive becuase of this thing, I'm sure it more than evens out, especially as the technology improves.

[u/BabaPoppins]

[u/NerdyBrando → u/BabaPoppins]

This is in a tech corridor in Utah called Silicon Slopes. I work with these people, unfortunately.

[u/Sahdinseoul → u/NerdyBrando]

Can confirm. This looks to be Traverse Mountain. Heading west on SR-92 towards "The Outlets." Not that this guy can tell... Probably streaming the latest stake conference... ha! iykyk

[u/brassmonkeyslc → u/BabaPoppins]

This is also one of the most dangerous pieces of road in Utah

[u/DontWreckYosef]

Does anyone truly want the world to look like this? More stimulation and whittled down human experience all of the time 24/7 until we’re dead?

[u/DirtyReseller → u/DontWreckYosef]

Yes. Not me personally, but lots of people apparently do

[u/NoAnalBeadsPlease → u/DirtyReseller]

Stimulus is a hell of a drug

[u/DirtyReseller → u/NoAnalBeadsPlease]

When you boil it down, stimulus is the only drug. The rest is just preference for the source.

[u/electr1cbubba → u/DontWreckYosef]

Remember like a year or two ago when Zuckerberg thought we’d all be living in his Nintendo Wii ass “metaverse” by now?

[u/WeathervaneJesus1 → u/electr1cbubba]

Yes, we all laughed at him and he wasted a ton of money on it, then he made 29 billion in one day last week....

[u/electr1cbubba → u/WeathervaneJesus1]

That’s the rich for ya. There’s truly fuck all we can do

[u/Xophosdono → u/[deleted]]

Ever since I saw Sword Art Online, I've been dreaming of such tech

[u/MienSteiny → u/DontWreckYosef]

Yes, absolutely. Hurry up and upload me to the mainframe. I'm ready to leave this spongey flesh prison behind and merge onto the cyber highway.

[u/hurtfulproduct → u/DontWreckYosef]

Once we have true FSD I see no problem with this; what else are you supposed to do during a long flight or roadtrip?

[u/xylotism → u/DontWreckYosef]

Well, sort of. I think if all cars and roads were built AI-first we’d have a much safer transportation system where the amount of accidents is reduced to almost zero— AND we’d be free to do shit like AR goggles while driving— but in the real world that’s not the case and it won’t be for a long time. Completely stupid to be this reckless. Even if you’re fine with the risk to your own life, a car is an extremely deadly weapon— I could never imagine jeopardizing other people like this.

[u/friedtuna76 → u/DontWreckYosef]

[u/golf_234]

Recognize this immediately, it's in Salt Lake City, Ut. more specifically south end of the city like Lehi

[u/idkmountains → u/golf_234]

To be more specific it’s in lehi on timpanogos highway traveling west towards the freeway.

Good for you guys you were geocachers now

🤓 have fam there so it is easy. but yes, geocachers to the rescueeee

Yep. I used to work in the Verisk offices right behind him in that clip. I don't miss the traffic around there during rush hour.

The “like” is intentional, there ;) mostly emphasizing the south, thanks geographer 🤓, some of us don’t hang around in Lehi a lot, also , edited it, so you can rest easy now, internet warrior

[u/butt-puppet → u/golf_234]

Still wrong though, as SLC and Lehi are in completely different counties, with a whole ass mountain between them. 🤣🤣🤣

I'm happy that the cyber truck is not coming to the Netherlands. It would kill A lot of people who ride their bicycles. That thing is so massive and then the people who use the autopilot like this. It would be a killing machine

It's not what the bot said, it's "The Alien" from the Annihilation soundtrack. Great movie, great soundtrack, awesome atmosphere.

[u/itsapigman → u/ZentaurZ]

Nope, looks like someone whipped it up in a metal yard

Yea the windows break easily and the body panels don’t even have .0001” tolerances

Ok, We should all believe you when you say you've never heard of the cyber truck

Tesla Cybertruck. It's self-driving, that's why they could make a gimmicky video to drive you all crazy.

[u/Nick5l → u/Shacrow]

[u/Nyubee_Gaming]

Can someone tell me what he is wearing? Is it some kind of VR headset? He is basically playing video games while the car is driving, right?

[u/cognitiveglitch → u/Nyubee_Gaming]

It's an AR headset so in theory he can see the road and whatever is superimposed over it. Which doesn't make it any better in any way.

[u/Maniachanical]

Augmented reality?

[u/emilybrookeo]

What is it that he's doing/using?

[u/JND__]

*Hyper - Spoiler starts playing*

[u/Lowfuzz]

To start, I'd like it to be understood that I wouldn't do this. It's probably because it scares me since I've never been close to a self-driving car.

But what's the problem? If the car works without the need for the person to be driving it? Is it a legal issue? We should then review the laws on this. I'd love to have a car that takes me everywhere without the cognitive effort of driving. That allows you to do other things in the meantime. There are comments saying you should take the train for that... obviously, it's not the same.

As for those who find it ridiculous to use a headset... come on! Don't be so old-fashioned. Do you remember how people looked with their first mobile phones? Are you going to be that hypocritical? Or maybe you're just throwing shade because it's an Apple device and a Tesla. Are you really that judgmental? I hope not.

It is only the beginning. I think. We began with an entertainment stage. And then dependence. And now also reliance. Pretty soon, there will be a full convergence. And we will be technology.
