Never get in a helicopter, small plane, or Tesla
Don't forget the submarine controlled by a discount Xbox controller.
Always felt bad for the kid that was afraid of going in the sub and his fuckin dad pressured the shit out of him into doing it
He's about the only sympathetic character in that whole ordeal.
He was no angel
Oh for sure, just I sympathize with having a shithead father forcing you do stuff your gut says is wrong.
The problem wasn't the controller, the problem was that the Xbox controller was one of the best design decisions on that sub.
I don't even hate the fact that it used a controller (if what I heard is correct, imperialists also take design influence for fighter jets from game controllers), but the only controls for the submarine used FUCKING BLUETOOTH? Not a single emergency hard wired controller?
I said the best design decision, not a good design decision. Also I think the emergency ballast release was automatic. A Bluetooth controller is probably better than a homemade control system because COTS is usually a good idea.
