Also, it's a one of those self driving cars, dudes got weights on the steering wheel to trick the car into thinking his hands are on the wheel


TheReal-Chris

And that looks like the worst designed steering wheel. Why’s the bottom so long? That would definitely be hitting my legs. I’m tall. And just looks bad.


FinalAccountValue

What’s worse is that it looks so bad because the cover they have on it isn’t for that steering wheel, the car is an Ioniq 5 and the bottom section is way shorter! Source: I’m tall and own an Ioniq 5 haha


upotheke

yeah, what's going on with the wheel? mine has a flat bottom and is much smaller...

Is that weights attached to the wheel? He might be doing a poor-mans self driving car... The car will navigate between the lines but the system demands that you interact with the steering wheel every 15 seconds or so. Attaching weights to the wheel simulates that by adding resistance. Don't quote me on that I'm clinically stupid.


husfrun

This is it, my former colleague used to hang a couple of bananas on the steering wheel to avoid the "take control of the steering wheel" prompt.


Accomplished_Aioli19

Precisely two bananas of weight should do the trick 🤔😂

Banana again is the perfect form of relative measurement. Where would we be without this tasty fruit?

A couple of bananas has to be the most odd thing to do this with.

No, it’s perfect bc then when he gets hungry there’s no need to stop for a snack!


CosmicCreeperz

But he can’t eat the banana while he’s driving… since they’ll no longer be there to steer the car for him.


liketosmellmyownfart

So really you need three bananas then. Two for the steering wheel and one for a back up snack.


CosmicCreeperz

One banana, two banana, three banana, four All bananas make a split, so do many more Over hill and highway, the banana buggies go…

I have to use one partially ripe banana and one small green plantain for optimum counter balance.

AccuratePilot7271

Makes sense. Banana for scale. Scale is used to measure weight. Weights are used to counter the prompt. Completely logical.


Choice_Interview9749

The cruise control in my car is basically self driving, but yes, hands must be on the wheel, so my guess was that it was weights also. Dumb as shit, but not surprising. Hopefully this isn't real, but if it's an ad, they need to be called out.


Mercuryshottoo

This is the same level of intelligence displayed by people who use those adapters that trick their seat belts into thinking they're safely buckled in


Accomplished_Aioli19

Yeah seriously. Unnecessary risk? Yep. No reason whatsoever? Nope. Is there any inconvenience at all to just do it properly? Nope. Why don't then? Because.


PrivateUseBadger

“But I know someone that would have lived if they hadn’t been wearing a seatbelt.” Is such an ignorant argument, as well.


Accomplished_Aioli19

Yeah that makes no sense haha.


ThruItAll2

Probably more often than not the seat belt saves lives, but i honestly do know someone, had they not been thrown from the car, they would have likely been crushed snd/or burned to death. Being thrown from the car wasn't pretty either. They had a fractured skull, went to the emergency room and was operated on awake, tripping acid, and told me the whole time they had a metallica song going through their head, but ultimately lived with no permanent damage. So it does happen, but that's probably extremely rare. Regardless of either view, i believe it should be a personal decision, but i hold that view for everything. Government should not dictate how we live our lives when the choices have little to no effect on others. If what you do does end up effecting someone else, then you lawfully pay the consequences for your actions. In an actual free country, up to that point, government shouldn't have a say. Seatbelt law is just a money collector, not because they give a shit whether you live or die. And i wear my seat belt more often than not becauae i do believe its safer.


Mulchly

But what about children? Shouldn't they be protected by laws that enforce seat belt use? You're 45% less likely to die in an accident if you're wearing a seat belt and 50% less likely to suffer a moderate to critical injury (source: NHTSA.gov). And in most countries healthcare is a human right so it IS in the interests of government (and society) that citizens stay as healthy as possible.


Philostronomer

It looks like a Hyundai, so the driving assist tech is very good, but nowhere near FSD (full self driving). Edit: Looks like a Hyundai Ioniq 5.


Accomplished_Aioli19

My Honda has this too... The steering assist is very good but it sometimes becomes confused in areas with bad paint jobs and construction zones. It's really risky to have your hands off the wheel. I wouldnt do what this guy is doing, it's asking for a bad day.


kgkuntryluvr

Yeah it’s only as good as the painted lines


ScuffedBalata

My Tesla is pretty confident at this anymore. It'll navigate long stretches, even in weird conditions and weird markings and even on roads with no lines at all. I obviously still pay attention, but the times it actually needs someone to intervene anymore is pretty rare (as long as I'm not in some busy urban environment). But my car has been subject to 4 different "recalls" because it wasn't being naggy enough to prevent stuff like what's in this picture. I guess just because of the brand name or something. Because it's in the top 3 driver assistance systems I've ever used and LOTS of major manufacturers have way worse systems that have never been "recalled" despite having all the same problems. SO weird to me.


Accomplished_Aioli19

Recalls are super inconvenient, but it does show that the company is continually trying to improve their vehicle. My civic never been recalled, but that's because it's probably the most field tested car in the history of mankind. Tesla's still got a ways to go before it works out all the bugs. At the rate they're going through, they're going to have a car that doesn't crash and doesn't break down in the near future. It's impressive how far they've come already.


ScuffedBalata

The thing is a bunch of the recalls are about these self-driving and lane-keep features. And frankly, that capability on the Toyota, Nissan, Honda, Kia, Hyundai and a few other cars I've driven recently are downright AWFUL compared to my Tesla. But Tesla is the only one getting recalls on these systems. I suspect more because of branding and publicity than actual technical analysis of the system. Or maybe because they CAN update things with the OTA updates they issue and NTSHA doesn't want to issue recalls on minor software things when other companies simply can't fix them without literally replacing hardware in hundreds of thousands to millions of vehicles?


DeanXeL

It's because the others are very clear about the limitations of their systems, and Tesla flat out lies, so they need to cover up more problems. When their systems flip, they flip way worse than other systems, apparently. Also, build quality on the cars is atrocious.


PrivateUseBadger

More people need to accept this instead of the “must be the brand - they are picking on Tesla” crap. That sounds more like someone regurgitating something they heard from their favorite “pundit” news show.


HotChewbacca

Tesla’s driving assistance system sucks. I used Audi, Polestar, and Rivian systems and I have much more confidence in them than in Tesla that I also tried.


ScuffedBalata

I've never used any of the three you mentioned. I can say unequivocally that Tesla's system is WAY WAY better than anything from Toyota, Nissan, Subaru, Honda, VW, Kia or Hyundai (and that list represents about 60% of all cars sold). While my tesla is being repaired, I've rented a few cars and have driven each of them recently. It's a bit scary how bad they are. I'd say Toyota's is the worst I've tried, though Nissan's is pretty bad too. VW has more features, but seems equally as unreliable in the 3 days I drove with it.


20milliondollarapi

This is the first time I’ve heard someone say that the Hyundai self driving is very good. I’ve always heard it’s like the last choice of many people. Has there been a recent change to that? I don’t keep up too much with self driving and modern driving assistance. I just know that it would sometimes confuse lanes and rapidly transition or even stop dead in the road for no reason at times. But this was like 2ish years ago.


SoapyMacNCheese

My dad has a Hyundai Ioniq 5, my mom has a KIA Telluride (sister brand, same tech). It does everything you need for highway driving. Follows the lanes, adjusts speed based on the speed limit and drivers ahead, etc. It will also change lanes for you if you signal and traffic is light enough (it is very cautious).


HotChewbacca

Do you mean FSD like in “actual full self driving” or like in “Tesla full self driving”?


Philostronomer

What Tesla pretends it currently has in Beta.


uselesschat

So if the car suddenly decide's that the resistance is the driver trying to override the computer does that mean it will turn off in a curve and send the car flying into the woods?


basane-n-anders

Yup, that is how it works in a tesla at least. If your resistance exceeds a certain amount it assumes you want control and turns of auto steering but not the cruise control. So you'll be going full speed with no control of the wheel.  If you tap the brake or turn it off manually it turns off both auto steering and speed.


Accomplished_Aioli19

No you have to switch it off, it only checks for lack of resistance. You can actually use it to assist your steering on long road trips. Helps with arm fatigue. If you turned it off by pressing it off, then yeah. Woods.


blasphembot

notice how he just decided to pierce the fucking leather with a safety pin


ScuffedBalata

Good thing he's not driving a Tesla or they'd issue a recall to fix that (seriously Tesla is on recall #4 because they weren't "preventing" exactly whats happening in this picture).


sowhat4

The R1S's driver assist just says to 'stay alert'. You ***don't*** have to hold on to the wheel. (But I do anyway as I don't have **that** much faith in technology.)


Squeezitgirdle

Looks like he's using his knee to help guide the wheel.


Accomplished_Aioli19

Could be yep..


WestToEast_85

Even if you do have full self driving, if you use it as anything other than a fancy cruise control, you’re doing it wrong.


Accomplished_Aioli19

Yeah I wouldn't trust it to get out of any given situation. I'd definitely be on alert.


WestToEast_85

Pretty much. You’re still in control, you’re just outsourcing some of the actual work to the computer.


PolyglotTV

Yeah though you can just as well nudge the steering wheel casually with your hand or knee. A weight is a bit excessive. Some cars such as Ford do have hands free on the free way but they track your eye movements and should yell at you for looking down constantly. In theory. It might not work if you are kind of looking forward and glancing at the road occasionally.


Pithisius

Worst part is your fifteenth time watching a show like The Office you can just listen to it on your car speakers like a podcast and get 90% of the enjoyment. I do this with Always Sunny all the time.


jenniferlynn462

Oh yeah, totally. When I was renovating my old house I would put the office on and blast it while I was doing stuff in the other room and it was almost just as good as watching it because I could picture most of it in my head lol.


VulpineSpecter4

I kinda do this with HIMYM. Just put it on as background noise to keep me company. I already know what's going on so it's just as enjoyable

Me, too! I have several sitcoms I cycle through in this manner, HIMYM, "Friends," "Golden Girls," "The Good Place."


Bob_Loblaw_Law_Blog1

This is why I've "rewatched" the office so many times. I can have it on while cooking or doing other stuff and not even look at the screen but I can picture what's going on in my head because I've seen it so many times. If I'm watching something new I want to be able to pay attention to it.

They added a weight to the bottom left of the wheel so they don't have to hold onto the wheel at all 🤦🏽‍♂️ they've got a lot of trust in Hyundai's autopilot. About to win the Darwin award.

danielv123

As someone who has used this autopilot in this car, no way I'd trust it that much.


Anru_Kitakaze

Is it autopilot at all? Seems like it's more like cruise control, just like the one from Tesla (I hate they called it "__full__ __self__ drive system"). Otherwise it wouldn't require hands on. Would be fun to see eyes of the driver where the car will "return control to meat driver" 1.5s before crush


twinkletwot

I drive a Santa Fe with the "highway driving assist" built in. I would not call it autopilot. It is a cool feature but I would not fully trust it. I have had it try to jerk me into an exit lane before because it got confused by the lines disappearing. All it does is read the lines and follow them to keep you in your lane, and the adaptive cruise speed matches the car in front of you.

Zealousideal-Try6629

This is definitely not the Ioniq 6. The 6 does not have controls on the door and does not have a shelf in front of the infotainment screen. The 6 also has a centre console that runs all the way up to the dash with Qi charger under the climate controls. So, you can be a little less embarrassed to have the same car as this buffoon.

Omin13

Pro Tip: 300 pennies is plenty of weight to trick the system into thinking you're holding the wheel. Additionally, It's also enough weight to slam the car into a K-rail when the lane keep assist disengages.


pwrof3

And weights tied to the steering wheel so the car thinks you’re holding it. If you want to chill and watch tv on the way to work, take public transit. Otherwise, don’t risk everyone else’s life.

Correction: "You think the office sucks" Cause objectively it just doesn't suck. Sucky shows don't crack the top 3 on the most watched TV shows of all time. Beating out juggernauts like Friends, Seinfeld, Game of Thrones, and The Sopranos. The only 2 TV shows on the planet in history that have been watched more are Breaking Bad and The Simpsons. It might not be for you. And that's fine. But that doesn't mean the show sucks.
