The car is a Dongfeng M-Hero 917. It's Chinese.

Oh no! We're not even the #1 at making gun-cars?

I see China is on board with the monitors that look like they were glued to the dashboard and not actually part of it asthetic. I like that both driver and passenger get a neat throttle control. What does it do?

twin throttle controls are usually for different engines; it's not one set for the pilot flying and another for the pilot monitoring.

maybe this vehicle has two engines to allow its owner to really gun it?

I see what you did there.

It actually has four engines. One for each wheel.

Oh I bet they touch it sometimes.

The left one is the usual PRND gear stick. The right one changes between 6 different off-road modes (snow, mud, sand, rock, water, auto).

Gotta appease the American buyers

And apparently it's amazing. I'm sure it has lots of spyware.

Amazing? It looks like it was designed by my ADHD when I was 6.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 7 months ago (2 children)

No, they actually finished it.

[–] saltesc 6 points 7 months ago

Hahaha. A deep cut and a burn.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

If he can finish dialling $emergency_number he may even get treated for that burn.

I never want to look in any direction without seeing a screen. Preferably 3.

The next big thing: No windows, no windscreen, no glass at all. Only OLED displays.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

The latest polestar has no rear window, only a camera mirror. I'm sure that won't cause any problems at all

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

With some very intrusive HUD elements plus ad banners

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

I really like the design personally.
