Sci/Tech The Self Driving Car Traffic Jam

The jokes practically write themselves folks.

Although it has promised that “traffic and congestion will be a thing of the past,” videos emerging from demonstrations at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas show that traffic and congestion are still possible in the Boring Company’s tunnels.



In a video published by Benjamin Brochstein on a demonstration ride in Tesla and the Boring Company’s Las Vegas loop, a traffic jam can be seen forming outside of the Las Vegas Convention Center.

There is a commercial that plays Queen's "We Will Rock You" and instead of driving the guy takes his hands off the wheel so he can clap along with the song.

I've been wondering what the fascination was for self-driving cars and why they were needed. I mean, how fucking lazy do you have to be to not want to be bothered with using a steering wheel? Now I know. It's so you can clap your hands.

Call me when I can get hammer drunk at the bar and take a nap in the back seat while my car drives me home. Until then, self-driving cars can go fuck themselves.

I can't believe that moving the traffic underground didn't solve traffic problems.

They only moved the relatively rich that can afford a Tesla underground, and still had congestion in the single lane tunnel.

I saw a prototype for a self-driving two-seater with a bench seat. I really want to get it so I can simultaneously escort my wife to her chosen destination as well as to pound town.

There's no chance your wife ever wants to leave that palatial estate you were showing off the other night.

Both because of its charm and the vast amount of meth-heads she would need to wade through to get to the car.
