Fuckin’ door is inside out.
Lmao I was going to say “it could just be a cut-through visualization”, but… No it couldn’t. This is VERY clearly portraying the interior side of a door. On a car with a very weird and obstructive pillar shape, no less.
And the side view mirror on the inside as well.
The NASCAR approach.
So the ai bro can see how gorgeous they are all the timr. Another quality life upgrade ofc. /s
Nah, it’s the first vehicle designed for looksmaxxers: all of the mirrors are on the inside, pointing directly at the driver. AI checks your surroundings for you.
Maybe it’s a suicide door.
Oh it’s definitely a suicide door
MC Escher door
put the gas tank your car inside
How is babby formed?
Edit: Also, how do you roll down the window?
It’s on a hinge at the top, & the bottom sticks out (there are multiple types of mechanisms for this design).
I don’t think they explained babies to you properly.
Batteries in the doors for EVs act as explosive reactive armor.

All this negativity… I, for one, for endorse this for those who love Ai. Don’t listen to the nay-sayers, guys! Go build this for your car, and do it soon!
This is like when people said the Cybertruck wasn’t amphibious. What a bunch of idiots. Of course it is, and everyone who listened to those idiots missed out on a primary feature of that vehicle for the gods. That finisher car.
How even do they expect this change to make drive-thru gas stations possible? They are already as drive-thru as they can be and the opening to fill the tank is already on the side of the car.
Instead, what we ought to do is have massive refuelling tankers just cruising around and we put the fueling port on the front so we can refuel mid-drive like a fighter jet.
I was driving south of Frankfurt in Germany a few years ago and the freeway has pantographs so the electric trucks can charge on the fly. When will dino-burners get the same treatment? :-D
No silly, the door comes off and you get a new door filled with the finest petrol.
Or induction charging toll roadways for electric cars.
You know, a thing that actually works.
Keeping aside the obvious hazard, what exactly was going on in this guys head? How does putting tank inside doors help?
I also had to think for a minute, I guess it’s to avoid the horror of having to step out of your car for one minute?
Ff I think I get it. Do they think fuel tank needs to be in door so they can take the nossle and fuel it from inside?
Bruh firstly, you don’t need to put the entire fuel tank in the door for that. Secondly, it’s pretty stupid to think grabbing anything outside the car while being inside the car is going to be a comfortable experience.
What was this guy thinking?
What was this guy thinking?
AI bros don’t do that - they delegate their “thinking” to the statistical text parrot.
That is clearly his desire but how does it enable a drive through gas station unlike the safe way? That is my confusion.
Gas stations are…already a drive-thru?
…?!!
Now hold on, isn’t this like airbags, but then with explosive power instead of lame air?
Can’t be hurt in a car accident if you’re 50 yards away from it

Air bags already have explosives tbf

Ignoring all the safety concerns. Wouldn’t this make the door heavier and rase the center of gravity. Also where is the window going to retract to. There would need to be multiple tanks all balanced. I don’t think the tank placement is an issue for car designers.
Issue was solved and someone is trying to find a novil idea from AI to justify the cost. LLMS don’t understand what a car door is or what filling the car involves.
Those are perfect valid concerns but I believe the first one would be that you would have a hose running down through a hinge. Over time, leaks are to be expected, that is if you don’t get your car door torn off and end up covered in gasoline.
The first concern would be “why are we designing things for ICE vehicles at all?” There’s no reason to make general-purpose cars any more that aren’t electric.
Mostly because people buy them. Because they’re convenient.
Also in automobiles doors are expected to absorb the impact of side-collisions, which are very common.
The more one merelly thinks about it beyond the purelly superficial first order perspective, the more reasons pop-up not to have a fuel tank on a door.
It’s not even novel, in a sense. On planes the fuel is stored mainly in the wings. This feels like an extrapolation of that.
I think AI should know that already because they basically just use all previous human knowledge unless a weak model was used for this
LLM’s don’t know anything.
They have no capacity for thought or introspection. It receives an input and selects tokens that match an expected output. That’s it. Yes it has been fed the entirety of human knowledge to be able to do this. But that’s like a human memorizing the entire mandarin alphabet but never learning mandarin. An Al just makes a sentence that looks right, or generates an image that matches the tokens in a prompt. I could make a mandarin sentence with random symbols, and it might even say something. Doesn’t mean I speak mandarin.
Aren’t we the same though? We don’t really know anything until we learn or train ourselves with knowledge? It’s just that LLMs only do this per prompt.
Yesn’t. What LLMs lack and causes these idiotic suggestions is context from mediums other than language. If you get down to it humans talking are also just trying to predict what should come next, but we predict this from more input than just text. Particularly with something like design, we come up with the design and then the text and maybe concept art to describe it. The llm comes up with a description that seems likely and then feeds it to a diffusion model to make an image to go with the text.
LLMs can be multimodal now. You can chuck a screenshot into claude code or whatever you use and the image generation process can also be done by the LLM itself rather than an external tool call as far as I know
How is this different from having the gas cap on the side of the car?
Is the idea you don’t have to get out?
The idea is that you keep that volatile, explosive, toxic liquid into as close proximity yourself as possible, while still blocking egress with same. Some scientists say under the seat is best, but putting the tank in a crumple zone has proven to be the most intelligent design.
Imagine a firefighter prying you out of your cAIbertruck ICE (double entendre) edition with the jaws of life after the Full Self Driving^tm barrels off a cliff, only for both of you to be engulfed in flames when they puncture the gas tank conveniently nestled in the handle-free gull wing door.
No, it will be a battery you silly!
Ford Pinto flashbacks
We should put electric motors on sunken door handles with plastic gears to achieve 0.01% more efficiency.
Bonus: they stay safely locked in an accident because you should not trust EMTs with your valuables.
The problem I have with these “natural selection” jokes is that shit like this will kill other people.
And like, yeah it’s funny and all until it actually happens. We are currently witnessing the results of DOGE gutting regulations and agencies in the US. Food getting recalled left and right They just extended the hours truckers can drive in a day. They’ve been slowly rolling back child labor laws sunce Trump’s first term.
Eventually they’ll just get rid of the oversight and monitoring, then there won’t be any more problems.
Was it ford that had a car that exploded on fenderbender due to fuel placement. The executives and designers where not the ones that where removed from the geen pool. I’ve seen Darwin awards said about people who already have children.
do these fucking assholes just like think learning about history is stupid or something? like gm literally did this and it was a disaster.
Gas stations are drive thru though.
Yeah you kinda just make them one of those one-way systems thats like airtight until you shove a hose in it, and then remove/automate the door and its truly drive through.
There’s already a way to make refueling a drive thru, it’s called paying $10 to the gas station man to do it for you.
Hmmm but the problem with that is someone makes money by doing something, rather than someone I’ll never see making money from owning things.
