it's comical just how many design flaws they managed to cram into one swasticar. there should be a list.

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 2 points 6 days ago

I'm sure there is one, in a handful of law offices called class action lawsuit

Driving in snow voids the warranty

I'm convinced this car was AI generated

[–] Mammothmothman@lemmy.ca 1 points 5 days ago

Good this way every other driver isn't blended by the stupid laser beam headlights.

I feel like an entire college engineering seminar could be made about how not to do things like ~~this~~ the cybersuck.

[–] kautau@lemmy.world 59 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

The engineers understood this, they just took their paycheck and went home. The people who need this seminar aren’t engineering majors, they’re business majors who need to be taught that taking shortcuts on your way to profits is going to lead to failure later. Granted we’re far too deep in the hole of capitalism for that lesson to even matter any more

Hell, we have professional seminars about shit like this. Especially once the bodies start piling up.

I'm more and more convinced this car was never actually supposed to be used by anyone.

My pet theory is dumbass was trying to hype up the stock. He drew something down a la homer simpson.

They had 1 guy actually working on it and added a page where you could give Elon an interest free loan to reserve a truck. After a while, he would give a refund and say it wasn't cost effective. It was all vaporware until someone said you could make the panels dirt cheap, just glue them down, and the profit margins would be huge.

Swastikoffin? Seems more like a death trap every day

Wait so the videogamey design is impractical irl??

[–] Telorand@reddthat.com 28 points 1 week ago

Turns out, you need more than a few triangles. Wouldn't hurt to have some ambient occlusion and some antialiasing, either.

Can this become a standard feature? The headlights on all cars are too damn bright these days

[–] some_designer_dude@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago (7 children)

I can’t recall which (Audi?) but at least one of them has a headlight system that literally blocks the light from hitting passing cars. So it’s constantly scanning for cars, and I guess it has fine control over which parts of the lights are on, and where they point? But it’s to solve this. Basically you can drive with your high beams while nobody else is the wiser

[–] InFerNo@lemmy.ml 8 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I'm already blinded by the time it detects me. They should ban those systems. You can tell when it kicks in, and it's always too late. Modern lights are great for the driver but shit for everyone in front of em.

[–] Kekzkrieger@feddit.org 4 points 6 days ago

I feel the same way, the feature was imo never properly tested the reaction time is so bad

[–] Rob1992@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago

Yeah, the "don't make the light shine up" is just regular fucking inspection passing requirements. The HID lights will auto level by law and the led matrix lights usually do as well. Or the more modern implementation is where it'll just turn off half of the matrix

[–] 13igTyme@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago

My Subaru doesn't scan, but you can see a small divot in the light where an oncoming car would be.

[–] roscoe@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Several companies have this now, but not in the US. For some reason the regulations don't allow it. Auto high beams can only go off and on, no zones. My car has the capability but it's software limited to comply with US laws. I guess it's cheaper to make them all the same and limit them than make different ones for the US market. There was supposed to be a change to the laws that allowed it in '22 but they fucked it up. If they ever fix the regulations it can be turned on with a software update.

I wouldn’t hold my breath and regulations getting “fixed” in any way… But maybe they’ll just eliminate all the regulations and we can use frickin’ laser beams for headlights if we want.

All the euro brands have it but it’s banned in the US because slow dinosaurs. Although the ban is supposed to be finally lifted starting this year or next.

LMFAO this is literarily the Homer car, except way uglier 😂

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 16 points 6 days ago (1 children)

The Homer has a separate bubble for the kids and for that reason alone it's better

[–] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 4 points 6 days ago

He also gave us the ample cup holders we now consider indispensable.

Man, this car gets funnier every day!
