Also, there's nothing that impressive about a jumping stunt car. There is no practical use of it, and if it's not already illegal for road use, it should be. It's goof for promotional stunts and professional daredevils only.
Nothing? I’d love to know what you do for a living that find this not impressive. I know it isnt solving world hunger, or anything else plaguing society, but its impressive, and inconceivable by pretty recent standards.
The tech for the car is at least 50 years old. Cold thrusters and vaccuum suctioned cars to help stick to the road. Just no ones really probably thought it was important to make
That's irrelevant. The point is that many people have been able to do stuff like this for decades. It's not some innovative tech. It's just a cool stunt, like thousands of other cool car stunts.
I can't do heart surgery either, but that doesn't mean a hospital is doing anything new or impressive when one of its doctors does a heart surgery in the sense he's created something. The individual surgeon might be very skilled and praiseworthy and the fact it's possible to save lives this way is pretty cool, but it doesn't make the surgeon or the hospital any more special than any other than can do the same thing.
And that's the point. People are acting like this jumping car is the pinnacle of technology when it's nothing new at all.
Its not the pinnacle of technology. Its also not unimpressive. Thats all im saying. You guys are all so butt hurt about politics to call a spade a spade
And this meme is claiming it IS the pinnacle of technology and not just a stunt.
It is a cool stunt? Sure. You don't see that every day. But it's not new or impressive technology. It's an impressive stunt, but the tech behind it is old and well understood.
Yes is is impressive and no I'm not criticising it.
My point is that your "so you could do it" arugument is irrelevant. I can't build a Model T Ford either. It doesn't make a Model T Ford the latest in technology.
