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

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.
Wait so the videogamey design is impractical irl??
Can this become a standard feature? The headlights on all cars are too damn bright these days
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
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.
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.
That is pretty neat. I have to wonder if it has any way to avoid blinding pedestrians or cyclists
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
My Subaru doesn't scan, but you can see a small divot in the light where an oncoming car would be.
LMFAO this is literarily the Homer car, except way uglier 😂
it's comical just how many design flaws they managed to cram into one swasticar. there should be a list.
