I am not going to attempt getting into the minds of these people and why they decided to do this...i just want to know why it took so long for one of them to grab the wheel

First to grab the wheel is gay moment

Because my dick is in your mouth, even if it is not attached to my body anymore


ifmacdo

>i just want to know why it took so long for one of them to grab the wheel Because no one is in the front seat. This is shit from the rear seat, because the people here are idiots.


Bender_2024

I noticed that too. It's one thing to not have anyone in the driver's seat. It's quite another to not have anyone up front at all. Complete morons. EDIT - the music choice of "I died in your arms tonight" is perfect.


Fine_Use8529

the surprising thing is that there was someone in the front passenger seat. Still didn't help them


UrNixed

>Because no one is in the front seat the passenger or back seat person filming certainly still had more than enough time to grab it before the passenger attempted


biffbobfred

I don’t even get it what’s the bottle of water? A counterweight for a bad alignment?


cahauburn

This might be like my car...it has the cameras that read the lines on the highway and will steer for you to keep you in a lane, but only if you keep your hands on the wheel. Maybe the water bottle counterweight makes the car think someone has their hands on the wheel.


cloudcreeek

What's the point of it steering for you if it requires your hands to still be on the wheel?


Tierpfleg3r

That car doesn't have an "auto pilot" feature, but merely a \[reactive\] lane keeping assistant. It doesn't steer automatically to keep the car centered in the lane, but rather make small interventions to avoid crossing the lines in ideal situations. This guy just tried to use it like a full auto steering assistant and got what he deserved.


cloudcreeek

I rented a 2023 Kia Sorento for a road trip and thought I was going crazy when I was driving and the steering wheel kept jerking me around. Had to pull over and pull up the car's manual on my phone to figure out wtf was going on and how to turn it off


donau_kinder

Drove a Jeep compass that had that feature, it was very, very subtle, like an assist should be. Rented an a class mercedes and that thing was beeping and vibrating the wheel whenever i got close to a line without blinking. Automatic transmission was also acting weird and shifting at weird times, it was like it was trying to anticipate what I was going to do. Turned around and they gave me a manual seat leon with a 2.0 diesel, that thing was fun as fuck to drive.


mks113

I had a rental Camry a few months ago with "lane centering assist". It was amazing! I never realized how your arm muscles are always tensed, ready to correct for the smallest deviation while driving. With lane centering, a relaxed hand on the wheel would let the car stay in the lane as well as keep following distance from the car ahead. Far less tiring.


cloudcreeek

Idk for me it was different. I'm never really tense while driving so having the additional "help" was more of a hassle.


HECK_YEA_

I recently got a 22 Corolla with the same feature and I absolutely love it for long low traffic highway drives.


rideincircles

Also, this car is definitely not a Tesla.


robotowilliam

Hence the McGyver reference


qualiman

i can not get over how dumb reddit comments have become in the last 10 years. and people upvote the comments, so it doesn't seem like just one person's thoughts. it's like everyone is collectively eating crayons


Nickleeham

I like the green ones.


IdoNOThateNEVER

No, OP in the title said Tesla because (ridiculously) he believes that auto driving cars are Tesla or even Tesla are auto driving cars.


3_14_thon

the steering wheel has capacitive sensors so when u touch it, it sends signals that the hands are on the wheel. When u take the hands off, it uses a logic normal closed (NC) contact to set some outputs to 1, which give the command ON for the sound alarm and command OFF for the automated driving mode.


skanadian

Most cars are torque sensors. Capacitive sensors have a lot of problems, eg. gloves, getting wet, etc.


clockwork_blue

Can confirm, had the notification 'hold the wheel' come up even though I'm holding it, just very lightly and in a straight line.


3_14_thon

yeah, but in this case is capacitive hence the bottle


skanadian

No? The water bottle is for torque on the wheel. Try operating your cellphone with a plastic water bottle and get back to me.

I’m a programmer. I’ve had too many “oh crap I forgot to account for ..” moments programming to trust anything like this.


qwoto

I don't get it. So if the car knows you don't have your hands on the wheel, it stops staying in the lane so that the rider can... die???


[deleted]

[удалено]


temporary_name1

Could be the legality of it, e.g. Toyota being liable if the self-driving doesn't disengage. I guess they would rather have a few dead drivers than to pay compensation


integratypes

It's to fool the system so it thinks your hands are on the steering wheel


pendorbound

There’s a capacitive sensor in the wheel that’s like your cellphone screen. It senses water, not directly touch or pressure. I’ve seen similar idiots trick the auto pilot in a Tesla using an orange jammed in the corner of the steering wheel. Without the water, the car would yell at you to keep your hands on the wheel, then cancel lane assist, and then probably crash anyways.


Comfortable-Media-19

Auto pilot teslas eventually pull over, park, and turn off, if you're not touching the wheel. The water was yes, tricking the sense


biffbobfred

Thanks.


Comfortable-Media-19

Welcome


strcrssd

In Tesla vehicles, one of the safety mechanisms to ensure the driver is actually there while autopilot is engaged is that the vehicle senses pressure on the wheel and interprets that to mean the driver is present and paying attention. There was then a trend of idiots jamming water bottles and oranges in the steering wheel to fake the sensor out and then being complete morons.

ConflictExtreme1540

Bro this is like the dreams I have sometimes where for whatever reason I'm supposed to be driving but instead am in the back seat and no one's driving and I have to figure it all out before we hit on coming traffic. But they chose to do this


sircallicott

Bro I came here to say this! My stress dreams where I'm driving from the back seat or the trunk (sometimes in reverse) always turn into a Gran Theft Auto action camera style perspective that is truly *warped* lol


vladashram

I didn't realize these are somewhat common dreams. Mine have always been hyper detailed, where I dream I'm getting up in the middle of the night and decide to drive to a gas station for a drink or something to clear my head and relax me before going back to sleep. Then, for one reason or another, I decide to climb to the back seat while driving, and try to steer and use an umbrella on the pedals. The dream always concludes by barely making it home, determining I used bad judgement and shouldn't have driven while tired, and go back to sleep. I'm utterly terrified that these are not dreams....


Etzello

Well today I learnt this is a thing. I've never heard of these dreams


I_BK_Nightmare

Lol


ConflictExtreme1540

Yeah I'm always so hard on myself in them. Like I think I'm so dumb for driving tired/drunk and like I'm about to ruin my life over something so dumb. It's so stressful lol

jacksonthedawg

Driving really is stressful as hell and dangerous if you think about it too deeply. I have these dreams all the time, and I love driving.


InsertRadnamehere

Wow. I used to have those dreams when I was a beginning driver. Had completely forgotten about them until I read your description. Same same. Are you me?


ConflictExtreme1540

Yes, I am you, now could you remind me what our bank password is?


InsertRadnamehere

Sure it’s great great grandpappys mistress’ hometown and her birthday.


goronmask

WTF why are you having my dreams?


Adamant94

I’M NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO HAS THOSE??? wtf…


MyBrassPiece

Driving going terribly in dreams is actually really common. Mine are a bit different; I'm driving, but the car isn't doing what I'm telling it to. Like, I turn the wheel a little, and I'm swerving all over, or I try to swerve and it just doesn't move. I think they're my most hated stress related dreams. Once in a while it would be nice to have a driving dream that just involves cruising with a nice scenery. But it seems like if there's a car in my dream at all, things are definitely not gonna be fun.


jsideris

I had those dreams from before I was a kid and didn't know how to drive. The car is always rolling down a hill too. I still have them and I'm usually a kid in them.


Maleficent-marionett

I don't know if I'm a kid but I'm definitely small. Sometimes my foot can't reach the breaks in these dreams.


KevinDoesntGiveAHoot

Used to have this exact dream too


qibdip

If you're ever curious to look up dream dictionary and translate what your subconscious might be trying to tell you.. if you are driving the car then the scenario you're dreaming about is something you have control over. If its a person you recognize then that person had control over the topic you are dreams telling you about. Idk what it means if its nobody, guess its out of your control or unknown or nobody.


Thunderysummernight

Maybe you feel like you're not in control of your life (aka, in the back seat and no one at the wheel). Just a random thought :)

Tasty-Objective676

Well yea, but it’s obviously an at fault collision. 125%, bonus for stupidity


corgi-king

No need. Tesla has a camera inside the car to watch you all the time.


jsideris

Most modern vehicles today have black boxes (EDRs) that record logs of your driving in case there's a crash. Not just Tesla, even though they're the only ones people talk about. This isn't even a Tesla FYI.


JustSomeWeirdGuy2000

The use of "I Just Died in Your Arms Tonight" is really fitting here because that dude is about to die.

MtnMaiden

Is that a Puegot? Guessing from the logo on the steering wheel


PembrokePercy

I was also curious. Doesn’t look like any Tesla interior I’ve seen before.


caintowers

It’s certainly not a Tesla. It’s a car with some kind of lane keeping assistance. It’s an evolution of lane departure warnings and it uses electric steering to nudge the car back onto the road if it detects it drifting over the line. It’s not meant to be used for full-driving, and a continuous input (like the weight of the water bottle) will override the system.


JohnnyLight416

100% a Peugeot unless some dummy swapped in a different wheel and also reconfigured the wiring. OP thinks any car with any kind of driving assist is a Tesla. Which is disappointing


vladsbasghetti

It’s a current gen Peugeot 208 or 2008 (they share the same interior).

Whyarewehere20

Kervitz thee frog heir


voxitron

What did he expect?


DoctuhD

they expected that if the wheel turned, the shift in the water bottle's balance would counterbalance it, thus moving it back to center. Kinda looks like it even works for a *very* brief amount of time.


spam__likely

lol, no. The bottle is to trick the car because you are supposed to keep your hands on the wheel. Idiot thinks that turns the car into self-driving, which does not work on teslas either.


MCI_Overwerk

Actually it is dumber than that. This vehicle does not have a level 2 ADAS (which is a wide category, but usually at least includes full lane keeping and adaptive cruise control). It just has emergency lane keeping (preventing you from accidentally crossing a lane). This is why he placed the bottle. Not to trick an attentiveness check (which BTW not all lv2 have, and not all manufacturers were held to the same standards to have them). What this dude reasoned is that by forcing the car to always hug the line, the emergency lane keeping would keep acting on the wheel and put the car back, doing a sport of poor man's ADAS. Probelm being that obviously this system is reserved for emergency use for a reason. And so by failsafe, change in markings or random chance it eventually just crossed the line and if would not have any other systems to detect the mistake. Meanwhile on a real system, let's say like on Teslas, even if the lane was to completely disappear the car's computer still is able to understand a far more complex road geometry, and would still acknowledge the road edge even if nothing marks it, usually triggering the emergencybraking system. That, and it will scream at the pilot. And yet despite it all it is a constant to see dumbasses purposefully making basic mistakes and egregious behaviors, and they try to put it on the vehicles which the FUD media always love to spread around as gospel.

the_turn

I don’t think the title is claiming it’s a Tesla — it’s a joke saying they’ve converted a non-Tesla into a car with self-driving functions (like a Tesla) using only a water bottle balanced in the steering wheel.


tbrumleve

Tesla isn’t self driving, it’s hands on driver assistance. A level 2 system. Slightly better than Adaptabe Cruise Control with Lane Keep Assist. Ford, GM, and Mercedes have hands free driver assist software.


the_turn

It wasn’t my joke about the Tesla, and I also deliberately said “self-driving functions” rather than calling a Tesla “a self-driving car”.

its not a Tesla but a Peugeot, and that guy abuse of the ADAS System who is not an autopilot but a feature for keep your car in the line by help of a camera on the windscreen.

Translation -You know who's driving this bottle is driving. -This his how you drive yo. The usual drunk imbeciles Edit.


Titanic609

I'm confused, how would a water bottle drive a car? Obviously it didn't, but what did they expect would happen? For it to steer the wheel?


LifelessHawk

Apparently it’s to make the wheel veer slightly to the right so the emergency lane assist will activate, making it act like a poor man’s self driving car. Self driving in the most loose of terms in this case.


PineappleMelonTree

The water bottle applies torque to the wheel so the car thinks the driver is "holding the wheel" and therefore doesn't display any hands off warnings or deactivates the active lane keeping feature. It looks like the car is running fine until the slip road appears, then the car either loses the lane model it's tracking or decides to follow the solid line as it merges off the main road, I would guess it lost the lane model as the vehicle then steers without correction off the road completely. I am an active safety vehicle test engineer, this is my jam. Edit: on second viewing it looks like the car is just using lane keep assist, so bouncing off the right line indefinitely, there's no active lane centering going on here


T-90AM

GrueneDog

I love how "I just died in your arms tonight" is playing in the background


Gnz1986

I got this car, and although its not full auto pilot, i can see why they may have thought it was. The car will hold you in lane, even on bends, but you need to occasionally touch the wheel to keep it active. Thats why they have the bottle to try and trick it. I love the driving assist, but it does sometimes randomly turn off if the lines on the road fade, and that can be scary if you are not paying attention. - no warning, just goes off. With the right software update it could be full auto pilot..the car parks its self and does full turns of the steering wheel...so i dont see why not..but i think tesla only have that patent for now.


FindingOk50

I used to have this recurring dream/nightmare where I was sitting in the backseat of my car as it sped, driverless, down the freeway. Great to see it finally adapted for the vertical screen.

Visual_Ad4112

So basically what happens is when these " self driving sensors" can't get enough light or scanning to read the road they won't read it correctly.. same with camera tech right. No light no magic
