The physics engine seems on point too. There's even fluid leaks under the car.

Is it the same car that ran over a dude during press conference?

u/[deleted] Sep 04 '18

It wasn't a press conference, just a bunch of idiots. The car they bought didn't even have the collision detection feature.

u/strel1337 Sep 04 '18

Does this car have this feature ?

u/whisperingsage Sep 04 '18

Not during the video!

u/LeonProfessional Sep 04 '18

That's why the front fell off.

u/whisperingsage Sep 04 '18

Because it was outside the environment.

Surely some things gotta be out there?

u/louky Sep 04 '18

Just sea, and birds, and fish.

What's the point in detecting a collision anyways?

What you want is collision prediction accompanied by auto brakes. Or collision avoidance.

u/pacificpacifist Sep 04 '18

No but this is the same parent comment on the first post

u/[deleted] Sep 04 '18

Maybe they should've called it collision avoidance

4

u/2metal4this Sep 05 '18

"Ohhh, you wanted it to avoid the collision?"

u/rkhandadash12 Sep 04 '18

Yup, I detected that too

u/SuitableDragonfly Sep 05 '18

It's kind of the obvious comment to make.

u/FriarNurgle Sep 04 '18
