It's cool looking not gonna lie, but in an "I would download this from the asset store for a game" way

Just build fucking trains and pay bus drivers you freaks

[–] ThermonuclearEgg@hexbear.net 18 points 1 week ago (3 children)

It looks cool because it looks like a fancy front car for a train

I've said it before and I'll say it again: credulous bazingas that watched sci-fi treats and really liked the blue curtains in them.

[–] GlueBear@hexbear.net 13 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Not a single attractive person thinks this is impressive.

Have they considered what happens if they were to hit a pothole or curb? Look at how low that thing is, it's practically a street sweeper except it's making the street shittier by virtue of existence.

[–] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 13 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I wouldn't say everyone in these videos and pictures is ugly, but I am repulsed by their bazinga credulity.

[–] GlueBear@hexbear.net 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I mean attractive in a spiritual sense, I wouldn't want to be around anyone in that crowd no matter how they look.

"Wow, Minority Report is so cool and futuristic!"

[–] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 15 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Back in CA, more than once, I've had conversations where someone was really excited about the idea of "precrime" and looked forward to "precrime" law enforcement by way of bazinga tech. One even said "the 'precrime' system in Minority Report was accurate and objectively good, actually" ignoring the exploitation of living beings within the plot of that movie because of course they did.

I wonder if those high and mighty bazingas realize they sound just like the shlubby suburban Bush voter type of republican they look down on saying “Nothing to hide, nothing to fear!”

It’s jarring just how much people WANT to be cattle.

[–] EstraDoll@hexbear.net 27 points 1 week ago

okay, I am a massive slut for the pseudo art deco style it has going on here, I have to admit

Everything else? ugh, why?

[–] happybadger@hexbear.net 21 points 1 week ago (3 children)

My car unfortunately has low clearance. It regularly uncomfortably scrapes against most inclines. The bottom panels in the front are mutilated. I can't get out of my driveway without worrying that I'm going to bend some pipe unless I angle it perfectly.

There's absolutely no way in hell these aren't as gimmicky as the Las Vegas hyperloop where it's just a circular tunnel that Teslas can't even self-navigate. Maybe this thing can be manually offloaded from a tow truck and programmed to slowly move around a completely flat track, but I could not take it across my 10 minute commute. There are multiple local rail crossings I think it'd get stuck on and the storm channels on our intersections would probably destroy the front of it.

[–] supafuzz@hexbear.net 16 points 1 week ago

the tunnels don't even have a flat enough road surface for that thing haha

search for "driveway curb ramp" you can find lots of hard rubber products that are built to make your driveway less of a trough

[–] FALGSConaut@hexbear.net 19 points 1 week ago

nice try driveway curb ramp guerrilla marketing team, I'm on to your shenanigans

[–] FuckyWucky@hexbear.net 12 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

yea very clearly he got his 'inspiration' from looking at trams running on much smoother slopes

[–] miz@hexbear.net 19 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

you know how it always happens: you're in a group of 18 to 20 people, you need to all go to another location, and everyone complains that there isn't a taxi that can accommodate your whole group without splitting into four vehicles

Apparently they showed what I assume is a prototype at their thing yesterday? I’m curious if there’s something we already have that can move at least 20 people efficiently tho

[–] supafuzz@hexbear.net 10 points 1 week ago

no, surely if something like that existed it would be the backbone of the American transportation system

[–] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 19 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Wow, a bus, um sweetie only the poor and dirty dangerous homeless use busses how-much-could-it-cost

[–] RNAi@hexbear.net 13 points 1 week ago

grillman "And that's why I don't want my taxes to be wasted transporting drug addicts and other people who failed at the prime directive of having a car, from their hoods to our safe havens"

Nobody.

Elon fans are just sunk-cost coping at this point. They know this shit is cringe but they hope but passionately insisting it isn't they can warp reality around to come closer to their mind palace.

[–] Dessa@hexbear.net 17 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Forget the train, I'm more impressed with the M.C. Escheresque architecture on those pillars in the background

[–] What_Religion_R_They@hexbear.net 15 points 1 week ago (1 children)

They couldn't be bothered to photoshop the entire thing, it's just AI atp

Sometimes the passengers come out a little bit charred, so it fits.

My guess is Francis Ford Coppola. I bet he'll put these in Megalopolis 2

[–] supafuzz@hexbear.net 11 points 1 week ago

the only good use

[–] pooh@hexbear.net 11 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I would be impressed if this were some form of standard public transport.

[–] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 12 points 1 week ago

The main streets in the town nearby me would utterly demolish it if it was a standard public transport.

A private bus that will get stuck on the first speed bump it tries to go over.

Mans gonna need an infinite tsukuyomi to warp reality to convince people his grand delusions are gonna come true i-cant

[–] LanyrdSkynrd@hexbear.net 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

There were people going crazy for this in that unveiling clip I saw posted here. One dude yelled, "Fuck yeah" and another was going, "What is that?!?", like he was personally meeting Jesus. Made me sick.
