unironically, transportation needs to be divorced from all the weird psychomarketing baggage it has picked up. carbrains have gone completely insane wrt size, power, speed etc. beyond all practical justification

[–] [email protected] 35 points 11 months ago (3 children)

disagree. what we need to do is invert the size complex. i wanna see cars get smaller and cuter without regard for safety or practicality.

I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:

If a big truck means you have a small dick what does a bicycle mean?

I just want a car with good lumbar support for the seats

I didn't notice this was AI generated picard

If we limit most cars to 40 km/h just think of all the silly designs that would no longer be deemed unsafe!

[–] [email protected] 18 points 11 months ago

Aww what a cute fella.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 11 months ago

Not gonna lie I love this.

I know it's an AI generated car, but it's kinda cute.

I wonder if that extra glass dome space up top would double as storage space for things like groceries.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 11 months ago (1 children)

It would get so fucking hot in there during the summer

[–] [email protected] 9 points 11 months ago

You can cook your groceries and have a hot snack while driving 😋

The car is just a cute little frog guy FrogPog

Looks like some Capsule Corp. stuff from Dragon Ball

Take it for a test drive and you’ll agree: zagreb ebnom zlotdik diev.

This is not a yugo gv...

[–] [email protected] 11 points 11 months ago

I like it

It looks like the cars from Busytown

This might be AI but the Peel P50 Trident sure isn't

[–] [email protected] 9 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I always thought the Zastava Yugo and the Fiat 126p were pretty rad. Ditto the VAZ 2105...

And they are all beautiful!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

Yes, yes they are

You get a color at random from the capsule machine, and they’re all perfect

You have finally win me over. I now live for communism, and die happy.

They're actually historically fash. They made a lot of planes for the imperial army in WWII. Granted, most governments will order corporations to do stuff during war, but Mitsu used slave labor and committed a lot of atrocities IIRC.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 11 months ago

this is a car i'd drive if i was a silly lil fella

[–] [email protected] 7 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

That car looks a bit like the time machine from little-remembered Pixar movie Meet the Robinsons.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Meet the Robinsons

Wasn't this a pre-pixar Disney release?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

Probably. I forgot there was a period when their partnership lapsed before they just bought it.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 11 months ago

This is the cutest way to die

[–] [email protected] 7 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

That doesn't look like it'd survive up here during the half-year we're frozen.

Edit: also screw Mitsubishi. I'll never buy from those fascists

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

Lucky for you, this is actually a "Mitubishi".

[–] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

All I can see if the sound the Jetson's flying car makes...

Also... there's no windshield wiper...

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago
[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

Jetsons vibes

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago (2 children)

I know this is a joke but I find it to be rather upsetting, on several levels. I strongly dislike this image.

Also, this car reminds me of Meet the Robinsons.

It was just meant as a joke! Maybe I have an odd sense of humour, sorry about that. I think it's AI though so I guess that's what's wrong with it... (?)
