If you approach that cybertruck, you are going to get attacked by cyber-zombies. I've seen this a thousand times. It's basically guaranteed.

Also, you are almost certainly on your way to a creepy old house in the woods that's built above a secret Umbrella Corporation bio-weapons laboratory. So, uh... good luck with that.

Fallouts vehicles look nothing like this, but if it WERE fallout, it would just randomly explode when you walk past. THEN the ghouls come from the woods.

[–] Glytch@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

It's a cybertruck, it might still randomly explode as you walk past.

  • Cybertruck: drives in snow
  • Inertia: exists
  • Traction: doesn't

Ok but for actually apparently driving on snow is really hard, had no idea.

I grew up in a very cold, snowy place. Learning to drift was part of my drivers ed (thanks dad 👍) so that I could learn to control my vehicle on ice and snow.

It is NOT intuitive to steer into your turn when you lose traction, otherwise northern i-75 in winter wouldn't be littered with cars on the side of the road after dark.

[–] Nougat@fedia.io 13 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I've never understood how that's not intuitive. You steer the car in the direction you want to go, that's all it is. That doesn't stop being a thing just because your car isn't maintaining traction.

Then again, I also came up when the only electric things in a car were the lights, fans, and ignition. ABS, traction control, adaptive cruise, pre-emptive braking - all of those things definitely make modern cars safer by orders of magnitude, but I also suspect that dependence on those things has unexpected consequences.

[–] ArsonButCute@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 1 week ago (1 children)

In your first statement you actually explain why it's not intuitive.

If you lost traction in snow and begin to turn because of it, you must turn the steering wheel to match that turn, rather than continue steering the direction you want to go or attempting to cancel the rotation by turning the other way.

The car is pointed to the left, I don't want to go left, so I steer right. It's utterly intuitive. Point the wheels in the direction you want the car to go. That's how steering works.

My friend this is the opposite of what you should be doing if you're turning because of traction loss, that's what I'm trying to tell you. If you're spinning right, you need to turn right to regain traction, SO THAT you can turn left to get out of it. Otherwise you're gonna sit there and spin your wheels with no traction and end up in a ditch, just like our cybertruck driver here.

Edit: replace gendered language with inclusive language

If you are moving and your rear wheels break loose, you want to steer in the direction the rear has slid out to. Rear kicks right, front of car points left, steer right. If no ABS: foot off the gas, no brakes, until the car slows enough to regain control. If you have ABS, stand on the brakes until you feel better about the situation.

If you are moving and the front wheels lose traction, you're going to continue going in the direction the car was moving, and steering doesn't matter. You will need to slow down until the car regains traction (again, no gas/brakes without ABS, stand on the brakes with ABS), and not substantially steer until then, else the car jerk to one side unexpectedly when traction returns.

If you are sitting still and spinning the drive wheels, your steering should be pointed in the direction which offers the least resistance. That might get you out, but it's more likely just one part of the puzzle. The drive wheels (front, rear, all) need to muster enough traction to get the vehicle on to a surface that has more traction. If you're already spinning at a standstill, steering off of center will make it worse, but having the wheels straight may well not make it work.

This is the correct explanation right here. Minnesota born and raised and I always heard as steer into your skid but it’s the same principle. When the back end kicks out you steer into the direction the back end swung out to.

In my much younger years during the winter we stopped turning on corners in the neighborhoods and just e-braked around them to “practice” driving in a skid.

There's also the Scandinavian flick for bonus points.

I still drive a five speed with an e-brake handle in the middle and I do this every opportunity I get in the snow and ice.

You need to paint it up with festive messages to make it more visible to rescuers. Things like "Swasticar" and "Nazimobile" will ensure it is taken care of quickly.

I hate it when people litter their trash on the side of the road.

Low poly. We had better rendering technology in the original Test Drive back in 1987. Even the cars in Pole Position (1982) looked more realistic.

[–] P00ptart@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Sprites vs 3D. Like apples and oranges.

[–] collapse_already@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 week ago

The clowns with 3D should not be losing to the sprites. Yet here we are...

[–] psycho_driver@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago

Driver forgot the self-immolating feature that is just for situations like this. Can't stay stuck in the snow if the intense fire from your Tesla melts all of it within 40 square feet.

Huh, it does look like ps1 game. The colors even match up. what the frig? 😂

even the shape of the cyberjunk looks like a ps1 polygon

[–] TomMasz@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Must have fallen off the tow truck.
