Comment on A YouTuber let the Cybertruck close on his finger to test the new sensor update. It didn't go well.

  Its just like elevators, really. You put your hand in to stop the doors closing, they open again before touching your arm. Next time they close gently on your arm. Third time, the doors snap shut and the elevator ascends without further warning, resulting in traumatic amputation.

    Wait what? Are there actually elevators “programmed” this way‽ (can this behavior even be changed in the controller?)

    Because I have never “tested” this behavior per se (I mean you mostly want your elevator to move anyway so you ideally remove the obstruction the first time it didn’t fully close…)

      I’ve seen cases where it takes some time to the group of people in the elevator to figure out the obstruction. Because it won’t even touch the object, just reopen again and again.

      So no, elevators don’t do that, and I assume the parent comment is sarcastic.

        Thats what I was hoping, but it was presented so deadpan that theres enough countries in the world that this could theoretically be true for some of them

        I, for one, still love it, and I’ll keep kicking its corpse until I’ve had my fill.

      If you look really hard, you’ll find it. It’s right there next to the gnat.

  What person with an automated cargo door closure mechanism has thought “stop protecting my stuff and just fucking close”?

  The same person that sometime need to force the door to close because even if his things are in the way, he know there will not be damages, just a bag a little more pressed. Or some more trashed trash you are taking to the landfill

  I’ll admit it annoys me when there’s something in the way that keeps my door from latching and it reopens, but I’d rather have to clear the door and shut it manually than it force itself closed and jams the door or break my shit.

  Which is what the system assume in this case. It stops 3 times, the 4th it suppose that the human know what he is doing.
