YouTuber – All about car

2018 Tesla Model 3Peter Bleakney In a truly stupid video recently posted to Instagram, YouTuber Alex Choi attempted to make himself look cool by sitting in the back seat of a semi-autonomous Tesla Model 3 with nobody behind the wheel. Choi posted the eight-second clip to his Instagram Stories, clearly showing himself taking a video from the back seat of the car as it self-navigated heavy traffic, a friend in the front passenger seat and the driver’s seat completely empty, just like the part of his brain where the common sense is supposed to be. Needless to say, if something were to go wrong with the system, or even if it were turned off suddenly – it deactivates when someone turns the wheel or touches the brakes – he would have been totally screwed, and likely would’ve hurt somebody else on the road. meanwhile, YouTuber and new #TeslaModel3 Performance owner, Alex Choi is posted this video to his Instagram story last night. Its probably the most reckless thing that hes done and thats saying something. pic.twitter.com/TK5zwgRohX Det Ansinn (@detansinn) June 4, 2019 This isn’t the first time Choi has done something stupid that endangers other people’s lives. A video was posted a while back with him making an extremely ill-timed merge in a Lamborghini that almost ended a motorcycle rider’s life. Honestly, if you’re going to do something for the gram, at least make it cool or interesting; this is just stupid, and doesn’t help the reputation of the Autopilot system. Once again, Tesla’s Autopilot system is not some stupid toy to be played with. It’s a driver assistance aid aimed at making driving more comfortable, so quit pretending it’s your own personal chauffeur. It isn’t. Tesla is also partly to blame for this kind of behavior, since the automaker still uses language like “full self-driving capability” to describe Autopilot’s advantages, when that’s something it really doesn’t

Carson Duba, a.k.a. EverythingWithWheels on YouTube, has a thing for Predator engines. It says so right on his YouTube About page: Let’s fix something or put a Predator in it! Words to live by, truly. For Duba, the most recent manifestation of this mantra is a vintage Dodge Ram that runs on a US$120 212-cc Predator motor, a power plant designed for vacuums, mowers and pressure washers. Designed for, perhaps, but not relegated to, because the motor moves this little truck just fine, forward and backward, at speeds up to 32 km/h. When Duba’s friend who’d had it kicking around the yard gave it to him, the early ’80s Dodge Ram 50 had a four-cylinder engine. That was scooped out clean to make room for Duba’s more-modest solution. The 6.5-horsepower motor sits on a custom-made platform with its throttle connected to the vehicle’s pedal. It took some negotiation to get the clutch, 60-tooth sprocket and chain to ship power to the five-speed manual transmission and lug the heavy truck around. But, well, take a look at the results! Possibly the best feature? The fact that it looks and drives like a truck, but still starts like a lawnmower, with a pull cord that’s fed through the body and pulled from under the front driver’s side wheel.
