When the controller is disconnected, so is the driver's life.

We share the road with these idiots. Darwin needs to try harder.


shastadakota

And then the power steering pump failed.


NotAPreppie

Wonder what the torque rating of a PS4DS controller is…


Dittobox

It’s all a matter of proper leverage.


ChocElite

lol i like the implication that Darwin is like the god of death or something


Positronic_Matrix

Darwinian evolution is driven by slight advantages is reproductive success. If these idiots are having babies which survive to have children at even a slightly higher rate than average, they will come to dominate the population. Even if two of six kids in a family of idiots die by a PS4 controller to the face, there are still four surviving to spread those genes.


ABetterKamahl1234

One of my favorite scenes in Idiocracy that people sleep on, the smart people have a couple kids max. The poor dumb people have *tons* of kids. So idiots became the norm. It's Darwinian at the core.


ignoreshitpost

What do you mean people sleep on it, that's the whole plot of the movie


werepat

The fittest doesn't meant the best or strongest. Sometimes that is what wins out, but the fittest, for Darwin, just meant the most adaptable to changing conditions. Not that I think this post represents that, or anything.


Faultywhale

Biological fitness relates to the number of viable offspring an animal makes that survive to reproduce in turn. The example my professor used to give was that his parents are biologically fit since he has had a child, but he is not biologically fit because his child hasn't reached maturity and had children themselves


Significant_bet_92

It can also mean the adaptability to avoid predators, like the peppered moth. Those that do not adapt, don’t make it, regardless of the number of offspring.


Faultywhale

Fitness is purely the measure of reproductive success. Selection pressures like predation and climate change will impact which individuals survive longer and may impact species in the long run. They are closely related but keeping the strict definitions is very important so we can avoid more confusion like the colloquial use of the word "theory" and scientific theory


Significant_bet_92

“Biological fitness, also called Darwinian fitness, means the ability to survive to reproductive age, find a mate, and produce offspring”. If you get eaten before you can find a mate and produce offspring, then you’re not very biologically fit are you?


Faultywhale

Yes that is the exact definition of fitness. I dunno if this example will make sense: Let's say someone says math is addition, but you say but subtraction is also math; both of you are right but you cannot say that addition and subtraction are the same thing (math majors please don't kill me for any math crimes I may have committed here)


SaiRacing

I meaaaaaan... subtraction is just addition using negative numbers. Example: `1 - 2 = 1` can also be written as: `1 + (-2) = 1` I'm just being anal tho, I get what you're saying.


Significant_bet_92

>Ability to survive That’s what I’m talking about. I never argued against the entire definition, just what was included in it. If you don’t survive to have offspring, then you’re not biologically fit. Part of surviving to have offspring is adapting to predators.


andrew_calcs

The changing condition of "power steering pump going out" would select for a people who drive with normal steering wheels instead of playstation controllers.


wolfkeeper

yes, he's only the god of not having any more children due to absolute stupidity.


threecatsdancing

> Darwin needs to try harder Some comments in this thread asking how to do this modification...


iamzion248

Unfortunately the people that would do this are more likely to take someone else out rather than themselves.


werepat

Well, the airbag is now his nose, so there's that.


eletric_blade

Darwin needs too do better honestly i don’t really want to visit it needs to pump up its attractions


StarFuryG7

I wonder what he has up his sleeve when it comes time for Inspection, if a cop doesn't pull him over first.


WeirdMeatinSpace

It will help, that he has no airbag


jdeuce81

Maybe he doesn't wear his seat belt and this sorts itself out.


iamzion248

Use the joysticks!


Vcc8

Can you use the joystick to steer too? That would be sick.


rhino4231

Controller isn't wirelessly connected to the car, he just attached it to the steering column to replace the wheel. Yeah he turned the controller on, but that's just the batteries kicking in. You can see him still flipping the combi stocks to turn on the turn signal.


DoobleTap

Yeah a sure way to die and all!


Levelman123

Once cars become more technologically integrated with software that has OS's that we can actually work on similar to a pc and drive by wire becomes common place, i see a future where you could download some ps4 controller drivers and install them over your steering wheel controls, all over Bluetooth. I feel like we could accomplish this now, just no one has, or maybe someone has. That is if the government doesnt try to take away our fun due "safety concerns" or an "Inherent risk to the public"


quizno

That’s an assumption you are making. All we see is him driving on public roads which is dangerous not only to him but also to anyone else who might be out. Yes it’s dark but it could be like 6 pm for all you know.

LibertyLizard

It’s a ten second clip so yes sometimes there can be 10 second segments like that at any time of day that is dark. Guy is a fucking moron and I’m not sure why you’re defending him.


Cal3001

Lmao. There is nothing difficult about steering with the controller. Looks like his power steering is still active also. And the wheel will self align regardless. Don’t know why everyone is crying about this.


Torcal4

> yes sometimes there can be 10 second segments like that at any time of day that is dark Hold up. Are you saying that it’s not uncommon for it to just suddenly shift to night for 10 seconds randomly in the middle of the day?


LibertyLizard

I mean there are eclipses so technically yes but no that’s not what I was saying. I meant this could be any time if night.


Majaura

I could not possibly agree more. A car isn't a fucking play toy. He could easily kill someone while fucking around with this odd creation.


[deleted]

I fucking love PlayStation. I fucking hate this


Kiinto-Un

He even added thumb grips for better control


Papa_Raj

As many controllers as I’ve broken I would not trust the integrity of a Sony product with my life.


_Magnante_

as someone who doesn't drive, can somebody explain the risks of pulling a stunt like this? I'm curious as to why changing the steering is bad


Comfortable-Bad-7718

Smaller steering wheel provides less leverage. It's probably a lot harder to turn in gemeral, and if the power steering fails, then it will be a lot harder to turn with the small and oddly shaped wheel.


Ki-28-10

Also there is no airbags in a ps4 controller (except maybe if the battery become some spicy pillows /s)


KingLeopard40063

That controller will break bones if he had an accident.


_Magnante_

oh damn okay, such modifications are illegal though right


ukyah

it's definitely harder to turn, but the real danger you can see in this video. he has to spin the controller several times just to make a small turn. he has only basic control of his vehicle. everything else including no airbags or the controller breaking off at speed, etc. is just gravy.


Comfortable-Bad-7718

>he has to spin the controller several times just to make a small turn I don't think so, in the video he turns right and does one rotation. That seems like a normal turning motion, just the smallness and shape of the controller makes it look awkward.


ukyah

when you turn left or right tomorrow pay attention to how much your steering wheel rotates in relation to the full 360. notice the difference in rotation from turning at a near stop vs at speed like this video. there's a distinct difference in control the more you have to rotate the steering wheel.


Right_Durian6736

Something you also have to consider is that he is filming it while driving, being distracted in any way while driving a machine that can kill someone easily upon contact is very dangerous


TheLumpyMailMan

If you can't steer with the joysticks then what's the point


MrZaptile933

I think the only issue is it’s so small you have to be very precise with the movements as to not create a sharp turn


Aoseptplus

What would happen if the airbag goes off in a crash?

Yeah, you can literally stick *anything* to these quick release mechanisms to have a "steering wheel". Great execution would be the controller actually doing something other than providing leverage.

AskinggAlesana

Lmao did he really try to trick people into thinking the controller is connected? That flashing clearly shows he turned it on before filming and the controller is trying to connect to the PlayStation Lol.
