I get the idea automation, its great when it saves time and effort but when it represents a minuscule chance of chopping a limb off you it should never be implemented to the public.
He went through a bunch of vegetables and, admittedly, it was pretty impressive how it handled them. But then with no hesitation it took off the tip of the carrot and he still decided to try his finger
Are there any crashes already involving pedestrians? I really wonder how broken those pedestrians are after the hit. I think the chance to survive a hit from a Cybertruck is minimal.
And I am even surprised that it is allowed on your streets.
To be fair, the survivability of being hit by any big US pickup is pretty small. Perhaps the cybertruck is even worse though.
Pickups are explicitly exempted from a lot of crash/pedestrian safety laws in the US (I think related to them being classed as commercial vehicles), despite every other car on the road there being a pickup.
The harder you push the pedal the more you want your speed to decrease, obviously. But if you push it hard enough then the decrease from your current speed to Zero is no longer enough. So now the engineers need to decide if you’ll speed up first, so the decrease from the new speed to zero is larger, or if it’ll slam you into reverse instead.
Bonnets cover the engine, evs don’t have engines, and their motors and other important components aren’t always centrally located nor do they need much regular maintenance so the front is sometimes made into a storage compartment, the frunk.
I hate that term, trunk doesn’t inherently mean on the back. It’s just a container for storage. Going by that naming convention a traditional car trunk should be called a bunk (back + trunk)
The crazy part to me is that he tried a carrot and it didn’t open for it. Yet he thought it was a good idea to try his finger which it about the same size.
Well apparently it’s programmed to bypass the safety system after 3 attempts under the assumption that the user knows best.
This seems like a really dumb choice, but I can see why an engineer would want to point out that it’s not incompetent engineering but an incompetent business department.
That’s called accountability and that’s why engineers get paid extra. Ethic classes are not the part of engineering degrees in the USA very obviously, I shouldn’t be surprised
I did read it and I’m also reading it in the context of the article and the rabid group-think here claiming that a potential injury after closing your hand in a door four times in a row is somehow the companies fault or the fault of the engineering department.
If you have to rely on the appeal to emotion fallacy to do the heavy lifting for your argument, I suppose you’re correct that there’s nothing left to discuss.
Personally, I learned long ago not to close my hand in a door after the first attempt. I suppose there’s a reason why some people need safety warnings not to use their toaster in the bathtub, and we should all live by those standards.
I don’t understand what “appeal to emotion” you’re talking about.
You seem to project given what you wrote in your second paragraph however, given that’s not even remotely relevant to the conversation here. I hope you’re not ever in charge of anything that matters.
Your entire argument is an appeal to emotion as if logic should be ignored in this situation simply because “safety” when in reality someone would need to close their body part in a door four times in a row before they were even remotely at risk of being injured.
You followed that fallacy up with an ad hominem by claiming that I must be dumb because I don’t blindly support your emotional argument about safety even though you have yet to explain how this is even unsafe in a real world scenario. My second paragraph highlighted similar scenarios where exceptionally special people might injure themselves by doing something idiotic and dangerous that no average person would ever do, yet we must still be warned about.
Care to take a crack at making an argument without relying on fallacies the whole time?
This is live example of how IQ doesn’t correlate with „success” though who knows if this funny test would even correlate with what we mean when we think of intelligence in this example
Maybe the greed for views and fanboism wins over no matter the brains
The YouTuber started the video by closing the frunk on produce like a carrot, cucumber, and banana before the update was installed. The frunk chopped all of the produce when it was placed in the frunk.
…
The YouTuber then tried the same test with the update installed and was impressed with the improvement.
“With just a software update, the Tesla Cybertruck frunk is way safer,” he said. “We witnessed it destroy a ton of vegetables, and then post-update did nothing.”
He didn’t do a finger until building confidence first. He also tried an arm and then his hand before finally trying his finger.
So not as crazy as the article made it out to be, and his finger wasn’t seriously hurt either, but it hurt enough that he didn’t want to try it again after getting info from the engineer about it getting stronger after each failed attempt.
If a bag or something is blocking the latch, then you may want it to try again harder. Or if the latch is a little bent, it may need more force to close properly.
That said, I honestly don’t like automatic latches and whatnot, I prefer to close doors myself because there’s less stuff to break.
Saw a video of the other day of some guy that bought a cybertruck, and his review can basically be summarized as “it has a ton of issues, there’s rust all over it, it’s incredibly dangerous, definitely worth the $100,000”
Imo manufacturers need to do the opposite and release more concept cars. Some of the coolest looking cars you can never own. Just look at these masterpieces
I was so upset when Hyundai said that they weren’t actually going to release the N Vision. I was really excited for that one cause they put so much work into making it look like an actual car you’d see on the road. I thought for sure it was coming out.
There’s always the new 400Z if you want a modern sports car with retro styling. But even that one still looks too modern… :/
