The people who knock self driving systems often forget how dumb a lot of drivers are.
Didn’t self driving fall for this exact thing
ACME self driving.
if elon_boss == True: …
People drive when they have to. If you’ve put in a double shift you’re not going to be at your best.
I also knock off car-first cities. A tram will not go full looney toons. And I expect that the professional drivers that are actually needed in a city will also not do it that often.
A tram will not go full looney toons.
The tram will drive through the tunnel successfully after the car crashes into the wall, with roadrunner as the conductor sticking his tongue out as he passes
I’ve seen tram drivers do incredibly stupid things. But yeah, they generally stick to the rails.
you know those conveyor belts they have at airports and shit? we should just design a city with a shitton of those instead of roads.
You should read “The Roads Must Roll” short story by Robert Heinein. He takes this idea to a whole nother level.
Asimov also had that in his books. The idea was kinda popular in sci-fi back in the 50s-60s.
Asimov also noted that if someone fell on another person on that ‘road’ and it caused a domino effect, that would suck big time.
it also features lightly in jasper fforde’s shades of grey series. those roads are carnivorous
or the floating trams in Japan that use extremely strong magnets to suspend the trams to have more walking space underneath
Ok but that’s just evil.
They painted it at a T junction, you can see there’s a road coming from the opposite direction, and at night, anybody who’s not local could have fallen for that and just assumed it was normal crossroads.
There’s also barely, if any, sidewalk in front of the painting, that could at least have alerted the driver.
It’s pure luck that the guy wasn’t driving fast, or there’d be dead bodies because of this stupid prank. This needs jail time, even if suspended.
it’s a parking lot, a bar did that as a joke, not a graffiti art.
It never actually happened, though the painting did briefly exist before being painted over in 2015.
At night, I hope you drive with your lights on and see that the light somehow can not make it through the entry of the tunnel.
It looks like a cartoon tunnel that no one should be fooled by unless they were severely distracted or impaired. The lack of signage should make it obvious.
Lotta party poopers in these comments. I’m with you. Many indicators this is a flat, painted picture if a driver is paying attention and going appropriate speeds.
Tesla’s on “full” ““auto”” “”“pilot”“” will plow right into what looks like a road. Mike or Mark Robber tested various self driving cars against a painted curtain with boxes behind it, Tesla’s not only failed to stop, they would disengage auto-pilot a split second before colliding, so doesn’t count as auto failure.
Tesla plows into emergency vehicles with lights flashing, it also tries to run into regular walls on occasion. It’s hardly relevant to anything about driving skills.
You would think differently if you were inside one of those emergency vehicles, or in front of one of those regular walls.
its not evil if they wanted suicide
Well it can only hurt car users, and I don’t care what happens to them
Right, because pedestrians are invincible?
Pedestrians don’t look like Road Runner tunnels
That’s something like 90% of the population.
I like how the same picture shows up at least once a week on some social media, subreddit, lemmy post etc.
Since 2015 when it was first posted.
All social media content was actually created in 2015. No new content was created since then. Most people don’t know this, but 100% of TikToks are just reposts from Vine.
You forgot to account for the % of content that actually is new content but you always swipe past it because you instantly realise it’s made by some attention horny corpo. Also rip vine, i miss you.
…and I laugh every time I see it.
Does the painter look like that?
how do people actually fall for this
its not even convincing
I mean, yeah, maybe it was dark and you couldn’t see that it was fake but seriously
how are you that stupid
how do people actually fall for this
It’s dark. They’re tired. They know a turn is coming up but can’t see it due to the lights from oncoming traffic
drunk
Or sick. Or simply overworked.
yeah yeah I stated that in my comment
if you read it
Then proceeded to ask why they’re so stupid still.
Lol exactly my thought too.
“How can you not see even if it’s dark” idk dude wait until your 73 and trying to drive home at night while oncoming traffic has bright lights in your face I guess.
cause if they knew that the turn was coming and they knew the road well, how did they not notice that the tunnel had never been there, and why did they try to drive into it? whenever I’m driving in a place I know very well/I live in I basically just go on autopilot and drive to where I need to go.
Who said they knew the road well? It could be their first time there and the phones map told them a left turn was coming up.
if they were following directions they wouldn’t think they know better than a computer software that is specifically designed to route and track roads using satellites by going forward.
“Turn right and then turn left” I’ve had this exact instruction before and would easily lead to this situation. In these types of moments, odds are you are looking and the road and not the screen so rely on the audio commands.
I’m sorry dude. I guess I’ve never met someone you who is immune from making mistakes.
your grammar’s wrong
its “I’ve never met someone
youwho is immune to makingfrommistakes.”now that I know that you don’t like it I’m probably just gonna do it more
I know somebody’s gonna be like “but Jesus said don’t point out a splinter in somebody else’s eye when you have a plank in yours” but I’m just teasing >_<
Painting that on a junction like this just seems incredibly dangerous.
There is yellow paint on the curb, meaning there is some parking regulation there and this is not a junction. But i can see that the mural makes it look like one
Baited
