I like how the same picture shows up at least once a week on some social media, subreddit, lemmy post etc.

    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.

    The people who knock self driving systems often forget how dumb a lot of drivers are.

    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.

    Asimov also had that in his books. The idea was kinda popular in sci-fi back in the 50s-60s.

    Asimov also noted that if someone fell on another person on that ‘road’ and it caused a domino effect, that would suck big time.

    Does the painter look like that?

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Well it can only hurt car users, and I don't care what happens to them

    Painting that on a junction like this just seems incredibly dangerous.

    how do people actually fall for this

    its not even convincing

    I mean, yeah, maybe it was dark and you couldn't see that it was fake but seriously

    how do people actually fall for this

    It's dark. They're tired. They know a turn is coming up but can't see it due to the lights from oncoming traffic

    Then proceeded to ask why they’re so stupid still.

    cause if they knew that the turn was coming and they knew the road well, how did they not notice that the tunnel had never been there, and why did they try to drive into it? whenever I'm driving in a place I know very well/I live in I basically just go on autopilot and drive to where I need to go.

    Who said they knew the road well? It could be their first time there and the phones map told them a left turn was coming up.

    if they were following directions they wouldn't think they know better than a computer software that is specifically designed to route and track roads using satellites by going forward.

    I’m sorry dude. I guess I’ve never met someone you who is immune from making mistakes.

    your grammar's wrong

    its "I've never met someone you who is immune to making from mistakes."

    now that I know that you don't like it I'm probably just gonna do it more

    I know somebody's gonna be like "but Jesus said don't point out a splinter in somebody else's eye when you have a plank in yours" but I'm just teasing >_<
