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

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

Deh terk er jerbs!

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).

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.

[–] stom@lemmy.dbzer0.com 26 points 4 months ago (2 children)

No, they actually finished it.

[–] saltesc@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago

Hahaha. A deep cut and a burn.

[–] deadbeef79000@lemmy.nz 2 points 4 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.

[–] LazerFX@sh.itjust.works 1 points 4 months ago

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

[–] Droechai@lemm.ee 1 points 4 months ago

With some very intrusive HUD elements plus ad banners

[–] AFC1886VCC@reddthat.com 1 points 4 months ago

I really like the design personally.

Gotta appease the American buyers
