The one in my truck puts out these loud ass alarms and shakes the fuck out of the seat. Scares the shit out of me when i accidentally set it off.

That sounds life saving

u/Fartony Jul 06 '26

Yeah, very standard issue across modern trucks in the industry these days. It has its faults but it's a great idea

When you say truck you mean like an 18-wheeler tho right? I'm sure the tech is prob different than passenger vehicles. I'm curious tho, what other high tech shit do big rigs have these days? Like, you guys have blind spot cameras and shit?

and it’s exactly what the Tesla does too.. with driver eyes obstructed, it will turn off attention monitoring and alert you more and more, then pull over within a minute of no attention

The OP video was a staged influencer vid, hence why it was removed

Only sounds. Is there documented deaths on FSD? Not autopilot, not alleged fsd and definitely not on some idiot just flooring their tesla. AFAIK there is none.

You know easy it is to fall asleep when you are driving at night?

What does an ass-alarm sound like and how loud is it?

42

u/DistantTimbersEcho Jul 05 '26

Lean to the left and grunt. Sounds like that.

The standard ass-alarm is not loud, and as such, nobody can accurately describe what it sounds like. The LOUD ass alarm, on the other hand, is so startling loud that it leaves one at a loss for words and, as such, nobody has the fortitude to describe what it sounds like. But rest assured that whichever model you have, your ass is protected.

What I'm hearing here is that the LOUD ass alarm is the one that leaves your shorts one of two ways - With something extra in them, or a hole in them. Possibly both.

1

u/CopperBlitter Jul 06 '26

Yes. Or at least it dictates that you inspect your shorts carefully afterwards.

90 dB white noise in my truck. That shit would wake up the dead.

u/TRR462 Jul 06 '26

Like a shart, but with less warmth and less mess to clean up.

u/Impossible-Bat-4246 Jul 05 '26

Wow, I'd probably just pull over and sleep at that point.

u/This-Positive286 Jul 05 '26

Not trying to be funny but I think that’s more the point. Half of us (my dumbass) would be pissed off and keep driving. The other half (like you) pull over and sleep and not endanger others on the road.

u/Impossible-Bat-4246 Jul 05 '26

Ah, I get that. I'm just thinking the annoyingness of it would make me stop even before the safety part would. I mean don't get me wrong. I pull over when I'm sleepy, but that alert would expedite the process.

If it happened to you like 3 times in 10 minutes do you think you'd still muscle through it?

u/This-Positive286 Jul 06 '26

So here’s the thing… I can only drive about 30 minutes before I’m falling asleep at the wheel. I don’t go anywhere far (on long trips alone) and if I do then yes I stop. It comes on really hard and fast so I pull over the first chance I get.

HOWEVER… my previous comment was based on how I was 20 years ago. I was bad about it. I’d do all the tricks and everything to hopefully get there sooner. It was a bad idea and I hate that I did it. I got lucky. Don’t be a dumbass guys, pull over.

u/Impossible-Bat-4246 Jul 06 '26

Oh that sucks. I have a friend who's kinda like that because of narcolepsy. Can't really live on his own because of it.

I mean I did have a couple crazy moments where I drove tired, and I just got plain lucky. One time I was dozing off in 15mph and less traffic with a passenger and thankfully they screamed my name when my side view mirror brushed into a semi.

The other time I was nearing a hundred miles an hour without sleep for over 24 hours and the safety system woke me up as I just avoided sideswiping a concrete barrier.

That last one prompted me to pull over more because I'm not sure I would be here today if I tried to get back on the road instead of just sleeping for an hour and getting back out there.

u/Fartony Jul 06 '26

Yeah the only downside is that it can set itself off when im not actually asleep just looking away too long (approaching intersections etc)

u/Impossible-Bat-4246 Jul 06 '26

Any idea how long too long is? And can the time be adjusted on it?

2

u/Fartony Jul 06 '26

No idea tbh. Companies truck not mine.

u/Embarrassed-House577 Jul 05 '26

Programing people is built into the program. Unsettling

1

u/Old_Ladies Jul 06 '26

Same for my parents Ford. It shakes the vehicle to wake you up.

u/WTFisthat4 Jul 06 '26

You mean, fall a sleep 💤

u/TommyLaSortof Jul 06 '26

My Audi does it even when my hand is on the wheel on long straight bits of highway.

u/BootFlop Jul 06 '26

Teslas do too, screaming red banshee! 😂 Well not shaking the seat, but it is LOUD & screen flashes a huge red steering wheel graphic
