That’s not where the girl’s eyes are.

And thus the first sentient AI was discovered

It just like me frfr

Hey lady, my eyes are up here.

[–] [email protected] 36 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They should be keeping their eyes on the road if they are driving lol

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

That's just bad driving advice. You should be aware of your surroundings when operating a vehicle.

It was a dad joke.

One step closer to Thomas the Tank engine.

Tommy the car literally can't even with your shit anymore Stacy.

"People don't trust autonomous vehicles for safety, security and privacy concerns, so instead of fixing these issues, let's put some googly eyes on them!" galaxy brain explodes

...seriously tho, which kind of genius exec thought that this was a good idea? Do they think the Uncanny Valley is a spa resort or whatever?

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 year ago

It looks like a sentient vehicle from some 90s/2000s TV show for little children.

The last fucking thing i need before I’m mowed down by the worst version of nightrider is Chuggington eyes.

It might work better if the car's "face" was cuter. I mean, imagine if it looked like this when the car "noticed" you:

I would prefer a future where I don't have to see weebs sexually harassing underaged cars, tyvm.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

Imagine all the bro fights.

But babe the car was making eyes at you!

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

Ugh, fuck that. As if I need more reasons to never leave the house.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

The car looks like it just got home from an exhausting workday

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

That would be worse. Anime stylized faces do not work in the 3d space. I'd imagine we'd see a new trend of fancy molded art to match each car's look and ~~personality...~~

Ah, who am I kidding? Some exec will just put fucking smileys on the car.

What if it's a crosswalk with a bunch of people crossing at the same time? Which person would it make eye contact with? Would it rapidly change eye contact with a bunch of people?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (3 children)

If you're watching a crosswalk with a bunch of people crossing at the same time, who do you look at, hmm?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

I just use a value ranking system and rapidly sort variables until I reach the highest possible value.

Women>Men

Pop colors > blending (red is greater than brown, etc.)

Interesting features > bland (So a dude with a scar registers higher than a dude without)

Anomalies > expecteds (a top hat is more interesting than a ball cap)

There's probably some other minor variations that account for my choices. Thinking about it, the preference for women may be due to them having more eye-catching variables than men in most cases, especially with regards to color and accessories.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Forgot about this comment and came back to a paragraph long comment where the line "Women>Men" popped out to me. My first thought was "Oh no, what political thing did I comment on this time?"

Anyways, thanks for the tip. Let's make the automated vehicles prioritize staring at women and anyone who dares to stand out.

I imagine people's eyes flick around taking in everything. Which is normal for a human, super weird for anything mechanical.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

The weirdest mfr

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It uses the same priorities as when it's deciding who to save and who to run down in an unavoidable collision. As to how it determines that, what do you think all those trolley problem memes were for?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

So it's gonna multitrack drift the eyes?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

What the actual fuck is that teletubbies lookin ass abomination

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago
[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Can we just not? Please?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

For some reason I kind of love it!

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Same. At least I know it detected me.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

If I'm walking or biking in front of a car stopped at an intersection it's nice to have confirmation that the driver has seen me and isn't going to press on the gas the moment I'm in front of the vehicle because they didn't realize I was there, so a robotic equivalent of this would be actually useful.
