Was anyone driving that car or was it just a remote controlled shell with compressed air thrusters?
Remote control (EDIT: Pre-scripted, no driver. Think Boston Dynamics dance videos). Imagine the shitshow if there was someone there and the Cybertruck-reveal level of preparedness played out on live broadcast.
Thought so. Let’s see Elon showcase this himself, on an actual road.
Did you mean “an actual cliff on a very windy day during a thunderstorm while a pack of seagulls crashes into his windshield”?
(Edit: Sorry Seagulls, but it was for a good cause!)
Thing probably weighed a few hundred pounds. Putting a person in it would probably kill the thrust to weight and balance… So yeah let’s see Elon test it!
What are you talking about? SpaceX’s COPVs are famously reliable! Nothing could possibly go wrong!
It was a programmed flight. No one in the car, no one actively controlling it. Probably a handful of people monitoring different things with a big red kill switch.
The inside of that car was the smallest battery that would work, a compressed gas can or two, and bare metal. No seats, no wheel, no screen.
If someone had been in that car, and they were not in a full on stunt driver safety suit and harness, pretty good chance they’d be seriously injured, possibly paralyzed, possibly having an induced heart attack, possibly passed out / unconscious.
Sure you can make the car itself do that… but a human meatbag inside a car doing that? Much less a typically overweight/obese average American driver?
Thats a lot of extreme g forces in violently rapidly changing axes and directions.
I wonder if Elon will provide the g suit and pilot g force conditioning regimen…
(obviously he will not)
I don’t believe them that it was compromised air, it was probably actually a monopropellant given its space x tech.
