Does the painter look like that?
I guess the driver forgot to say “meep meep”. That always worked for the bird.
I like how the same picture shows up at least once a week on some social media, subreddit, lemmy post etc.
…and I laugh every time I see it.
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.
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.
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 never actually happened, though the painting did briefly exist before being painted over in 2015.
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.
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.
its not evil if they wanted suicide
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
if elon_boss == True: …
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.
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.
Also fully autonomous subways have been operational since like 2010, unlike tezzla
The DLR has been going since 1987
People drive when they have to. If you’ve put in a double shift you’re not going to be at your best.
Few Years ago I read an article like " study finds you can get self driving cars to crash by throwing a human shaped pupped in front of them". I was like, yeah no shit that also works for humans.
You are not dumb for making this mistake.
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
