Maybe public transportation will really take off once everyone on board gets a VR headset with a driving simulator.
Commute to work on an empty Swiss mountain road in a Ferrari.
I mean what the ioniq did was awesome, I wish more evs had a performance version like that which catered to people who want fun cars to drive. I like the noises and dynamics from ice engines being able to replicate that while being more ecologically friendly and not annoying people outside my car with an obnoxiously load exhaust is such a big win in my book.
But it’s all fake. Umberto Ecco wrote a book about the American obsession with second best and fake experiences like the fake Eiffel tower in Vegas and fake Venice in Venice CA.
And all video games are fake, all non fiction movies and books, fake. Just because its fake doesnt mean it cant be enjoyable. I love sim racing in VR, its all fake virtual representations of some thing real, that doesnt take away the enjoyment from it.

People enjoy museums that display recreations of the “real thing” because some people cant afford or dont have the luxury to see the real thing. That doesnt detract from the experience. Planetariums arent just as US thing and people enjoy them across the world even if you are seeing fake visualizations of the galaxy. How is that any different?

Where this is going: Electric cars blended with driving simulators.
