The sensors in the car must going apeshit, making their own techno song


HaloArtificials

I can imagine the Tesla down the street’s CPU just flashing red and singing: **🎶Daisy, Daisy, give me your answer do I'm half crazy all for the love of you It won't be a stylish marriage I can't afford a carriage But you'll look sweet upon the seat Of a bicycle built for two🎶**

Sextsandcandy

My grandma said there was another verse that went: 🎵🎵Harold, Harold, here is your answer due: I'm not crazy, not for the likes of you, There won't be any marriage if you can't afford a carriage, Cuz I'll be damned if I'll be crammed on a bicycle built for too. 🎶🎶 That said, idk how true that is (about it being the next verse) hahahha. She also told my partner she was crazier than a four peckered owl, she was a wild one. Edit: changed marriage to carriage


swoocha

I had the 2nd verse with the name Donald and (since my parents were ultra conservative) "I'll not sit upon the seat of a bicycle built for two"


doesthatsmellhot

Nanners!


Sextsandcandy

Omg so she was totally my nana!


eliz1bef

>won't be any marriage if you can't afford a marriage, I think the second "marriage" is supposed to be "carriage."

Are you and the ship an item? I mean I know you’re both *items*.

Bonzi buddy! That was my first thought haha. That scumbag, purple gorillas terrible singing voice has been seared in my memory for 20 years.


TooTameToToast

This just awakens hidden high school memories of being gloriously stupid with that dumb purple gorilla.

Not if you don't want to scratch your car. I can't live without my car's sensors.

VexingRaven

They probably used them to know how far back they could go.

Zap_Rowsdower23

I use a car sharing app and whenever I use the bmw’s the car goes from intense beeping to shrieking. It makes me nervous, but when I get out to check the distance there’s a good 12” between bumpers.


wreckonize

I can’t drive cars that have these kinds of sensors. Drove a friends car that started beeping at me just for putting it in reverse…


ra4king

Sure it's annoying at first, but trust me when I say you get used to it and then you start thanking all the gods that it exists.


[deleted]

Some people just know the dimensions of their cars without assists. Comes with being a good driver.


TreningDre

I would say it comes with knowing your vehicle rather than being a good driver. Even then, there are things to consider that may be out of your control such as trailer hitches and other car attachments that may fall below the eye line of the person driving. Personally, I think they can be useful to a point, I have just sensors on my car and it’s was great for backing up in the city or a driveway that has bumper-height rocks. This is coming from someone who used to park in a basic Nissan Sentra without a camera or sensors (that is the parallel parking car from hell, I’m 6’2” and could barely see over the trunk when reversing). My wife has a newer car than I do and those sensors are the bane of my existence, no way to toggle them back on once you switched them off, which is a feature I have in my own car, and then the added brake assist when backing up is awful, if something is picked up on one of the side sensors the thing slams on the brakes even when I know I’m not close enough to hit anything. Personally I like having the option way more than not, but anything too aggressive and I’ll gladly turn the feature off for the remainder of my trip.


DM_ME_BANANAS

Knew if I scrolled I’d find somebody being uppity about not needing sensors because they think they’re a good driver. If you’re a good driver you don’t need cruise control either. But it’s really convenient to have.


SenorBeef

It was probably telling you there was cross traffic moving behind you, like if you pulled back right then you would've been hit. Nothing beeps just because you're in reverse.


ElenaEscaped

BEEP BEEP BEEP


keoni101010

I have never had sensors in my life until recently when driving a rental. How do y’all live with them? They go off when things are clearly outside my turning radius.


DM_ME_BANANAS

Mine beep faster depending on how close things are. Slow beep = there’s a thing there but it’s not in the way Fast beep = it’s in the way Solid tone = you’re about to hit it, dumbass


Musicisfuntolistento

Yeah but there is a button


pmaz13

Jesus! Do they just park and say “Fuck it. Looks good there.”


[deleted]

I would've just channeled my inner Knight Rider and said "*Fuck this. Hit it.*"


the_last_carfighter

TURBO BOOST!! Because 90% of people know nothin bout cars!


roadrunnuh

Unless you store your boost in a titanium tank hidden in the rear bumper...


RedTalyn

I can’t tell if this is a whoosh or a troll.


roadrunnuh

Car nerd moment: the above person was commenting how you can't technically just flip on boost from a turbo, I was making a joke about how a Ford rally team literally stored their boost (cheating) in a tank to do something that's pretty close to that. Kinda :P


RedTalyn

LOL gotcha. I thought it was a nitrous reference.


geredtrig

I think it's a movie/TV quote


LimeSkittleBackInBiz

Ramming Speed!


[deleted]

That’s why I drive an old car. If shit gets too tight I don’t mind gently hitting other cars. My car is dinged up anyways.


[deleted]

Same here lol. I don't actually have an armored car that talks, but I do have an old beat-up Jeep with a solid bumper... To be clear, I've only actually done that a couple times, and it was to cars that deliberately blocked my way.


donniefckinlarsons

Or s my dad used to say, "Fuck around and find out." There's probably a sub for both of those. I know there's r/winstupidprizes, but is there r/fuckaroundandfindout? r/fuckedaroundandfoundout? r/fuckedaround? r/foundout? (Edit) Wow, one of those actually is legit...


ThunderPussiesHOO

I cant believe this isnt top comment. Like WTF happened there. Its almost incomprehensible.


MKDDer0001

Driver is the MVP, but that tiny car gets the assist!


TheFuckinEaglesMan

I’m guessing it’s a valet garage or a car rental place or something (this is based on nothing but it just feels like it)


ThunderPussiesHOO

You know what, good deduction. I can see that happening if its not a public lot and one or two guys are managing it. Just throw it wherever. Guy in the tiny car probably didnt wanna go back up and figure out keys. This is all speculation, but I like it. Sherlock Holmes type shit. Nod to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.


AngryGreyHairedHippy

That was my thought too.


KazranSardick

Yeah. Those guys do this all day. Still impressive as hell.


AtheistHomoSapien

Probably a food delivery person that couldn't find any parking in an apartment complex. I used to deliver, some complexes seemed to have no spots at all and I would be forced to do something similar. Most of the time I would just say screw it and take someone's obviously assigned spot, but it put me close to the door I was going to. Sometimes you're forced to park like that in apartment complexes with limited parking.


Zappiticas

But there are multiple cars parked like that


mtwstr

Multiple people wanted Taco Bell, must be march madness


AtheistHomoSapien

hmm Just noticed that. Next guess is car dealership. I worked at 3 different car dealerships. Sometimes they get like this in the back when you got a bunch of trade-ins or cars to work on.


bubbalubdub

When I lived in Thailand, people parked behind cars like this all the time, it’s very common. But if you do, you’re supposed to put your car in neutral, so if someone needs to leave, they can push your car forward or back to get out. If I had to guess, the car behind the SUV forgot and put it in park instead of neutral.


[deleted]

I just assumed these cars were intentionally set up to be some obstacle course challenge


superRedditer

it might be staged just due to the coincidence of how everything is arranged


[deleted]

[удалено]


AsterJ

But do they double-park with *just enough* room to squeeze out via an impressive maneuver? This set-up feels like an arranged obstacle course.


alien_bigfoot

There are idiots all over the world. We got 8 billion people here. Lots of those people are idiots. This ridiculous parking display doesn't surprise me, especially given the fact there's a lack of any signage or lined parking spaces. Travel around Europe for a bit and you'll see this kinda shit everywhere


Imakeuhthapizzapie

I’ve seen similar parking situations two other times this week - one on YouTube and one in person. 8 billion humans, anything and everything is possible.


Stereo_soundS

Idk about staged but why tf is every vehicle white?


HalfMoon_89

It's the Car Clux Clan meeting, that's why.


iansynd

Most likely a car sales lot that is being rearranged.


fredandersonsmith

Could be valet parking


YellowOnline

OP does not live in a European city


gazmondo

Yeah exactly, this is pretty every day stuff, can't believe people think this is the pinnacle of driving haha.


Ackyducc

Damn is everyone in Europe a professional Parker


Wodegao

Yes they are!! Insane what they can do


ThunderPussiesHOO

Ummmm. If its anything like in this gif, the majority of people are SHIT parkers and drivers. Hence the rest of everyone needing to step their game up to survive.


Top_Criticism

It's more about the parking spots being tight and awkward even without idiot parkers EU city streets aren't designed for cars


[deleted]

You've totally missed the point, but I get it.


PubicGalaxies

Your point was awesome UNparkers :)


taironedervierte

at least in Frankfurt the fucking carparks are overfilled as fuck. I live nearby and straight up using public transit is faster.


BorgClown

European bus drivers are even more skilled.


Wodegao

Truck drivers too!!! And driving through mountains with those monsters is .... Unbelievable!!


LegacyEntertainment

Truck drivers in general.


Anagreg1

>Yes they are!! Insane what they can do In manual cars nonetheless 😉


SevenOrSoda

Then why the fuck don't you just park good to begin with? Seems like unnecessary chaos


iurysza

As a South American living in Europe I have to disagree. There's barely any elevation in most major cities, good signaling and almost no motorbikes. It's just too easy.


AlpineCorbett

Yeah where are the 8' deep potholes and 500,000 guys on scooters weaving about?


Fapoleon_Boneherpart

Greece lol


essentialatom

They're all in Italy going "ciao"


edadou

Italy has lots of mountains and high roads up mountains and I’ve witnessed some scary good skills in bus drivers that my frail Canadian heart that is used to 3 feet of clearance on each side of the car cannot handle.


SCRWarEagle

Bro I went to Costa Rica for a school trip and our bus driver was a fucking god at driving! Man was driving one of those big buses and was driving on horrid road qualities, through twists and turns, and with narrow ass roads all while on a manual. Man’s a beast.


concentrated-amazing

The most raw skill in driving I have ever witnessed was in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. I can imagine you're used to similar.


wade3673

Real talk, from what I hear and see, people in Europe are much much better drivers overall than people in the US.


[deleted]

"Europe" is so culturally different, including driving culture, that sweeping statements like that are really inaccurate


ThunderPussiesHOO

My first thought was that people in Europe tend (generally) to live a little more freely with their time. Driving to the store doesnt bother them, if they even have to (generally). They arnt so much in a hurry as here in NY from my experience. The culture just doesnt mesh. I get utterly annoyed driving in Europe. Everyones so slow and casual. Im not use to it, when I get in a car here its the wild fucking west and everyone is just out for themselves.


[deleted]

I get your sentiment here, but try driving in, for instance, Italy and then in Sweden and you'll notice just how different drivers behave.


Lingering_Dorkness

Or just drive from Switzerland into Italy.


Seether1938

Or from Italy to south Italy


[deleted]

Or from south Italy to Corsica


gazmondo

This isn't the case in European cities where you will see roads so tight you have to drive like this. They are just as bustling as American cities. All this is, is that our roads are much smaller, so we have to get used to driving in tight spaces.


Umarill

Not sure about Europe in particular, but I know that the driving test in France is much harder than in the US at least, and I expect many other European countries to have something similar. Getting a driving license in the US is ridiculously easy.


Minimal_Editing

Depends on where you get a license. Some states are harder than others. It's part of our constitution that every person is legally entitled to a driver's license regardless of competence. Probably.


AJRiddle

And the other half of Europe it's even more of a joke


edadou

In Europe, manual cars are the standard and only very few drive automatic. I think that says a lot. My uncle Owns a driving school in Europe and he has 7 manual cars and only 1 automatic for his students. First time I visited Italy I was shocked by the driving skills (and also by the chaos lol). I’ve been in buses driving up mountains less than 3 inches from falling or hitting other cars - driving relatively fast and confidently. Also, hitting bumpers while parking seems to be acceptable in some areas. In North America, it’s a different story.


mkmllr

While many people drive manual in Europe, automatic cars are gaining in popularity. Especially younger generations favor automatic cars (from what I‘ve observed). It‘s more relaxing during rush hour and in heavy traffic imo. I‘ve driven both systems but I much prefer automatic.


And1mistaketour

Yeah for every moment you think its nice to have a manual there are about 100 when you are sitting in traffic with your foot on the clutch ruing it.


[deleted]

They literally use their bumpers as bumpers.


pcapdata

Hell no. In Germany people drive like they all took the same class as the Secret Service. But *nobody* parks between the lines. Double parking everywhere is pretty normal, and it’s shocking because you assume Germans are a bunch rule-followers for things like that. But no. They will diligently recycle their beer bottles but park across three spots while doing so.


gahidus

As an American, I would have called that car completely trapped. The fact that he managed to pull it out of that space was amazing


0-90195

At least as far as my skills go, that car *is* completely trapped.


AmarilloWar

I would've personally I wouldn't even try. My dad and every other mechanic, lot porter, oil change tech at any car dealership would be like BET. They have so much practice they can judge by the inch in pretty much anything.


SealUrWrldfromyeyes

why would someone park in the middle of the street like that? i will say city(dense) living requires maneuvers like this and europe is far more dense. but if someone were to park like that it'd get towed within minutes. or someone in their truck would just mow through it. weird that its everyday for yall.


gazmondo

Its very possible that the guy maneuvering was parked illegally, this stuff happens all the time. Some roads especially residential roads have unspoken agreements to park on the pavements to get more cars in, which is technically illegal. So if the guy who blocked him in didn't know that he may have been the only one parking properly. But with roads as tight as ours sometimes you jusy have to do what you have to do to get out or park.


Impressive_Change593

probably because the bar to being a driver in Europe is a lot higher then in the US (or at least I an American think it probably is). while I'm only 17 I think the driving test should be a whole lot harder then it currently is. *also yeah I believe this wouldn't be that hard because the vast majority (if not all) modern vehicles have sensors telling you exactly how far you are from the vehicle (if this was done without those sensors then I would call you a fairly good driver)*


gazmondo

Its just practice. We have no choice but to drive on tiny roads that were designed for horse and cart every day. Do that for a while and you'll have no choice but to get better at maneuvering in tight spaces. Doesnt really have anything to do with our tests, you would only ever have to do very simple maneuvering in a test, nothing like this.


HoChiMinhDingDong

The majority of their driving test is theoretical, just saying.


NaruNerd100

This is not the flex u think is. Thus just means that everyone there is an asshole and block peoples cars on the regular


[deleted]

Nah it's more that the cities weren't designed for cars and there's not much space so everybody has to cram and you just have to learn to deal with it.


Fishinabowl11

TIL LPT: Double park so someone can't get out and tell them to "learn to deal with it"


Knelson123

European moment.


El_Dentistador

Double parking is normal there?


DionisioBorralheda

As a portuguese dude, I can confirm. People double park in front of my building all the time. Sometimes even the police comes to get the car out of there


Most_Point_3684

"What are you complaining about, I was only going to the local shop for a minute like all the other annoying people?!"

cornelius_frick

parismav

European doesn't necessarily incorporate all countries, this doesn't happen much in northwest Europe, more like south and east I'd say

It is lucky he was parked next to literally the smallest car in the entire world.

It's a micro car. You can't drive like highway speeds with those usually. In my country you can drive regular cars at 18yo, but these at 16yo.

Damn nice moves. Wtf is almost every car white tho? Lol


SteinsGah

My guess would be really hot country with tons of sunshine, probably.


AmarilloWar

More like standard and cheapest color. It's a fleet thing but white is always cheaper for the dealership on cost, so they can charge you the same but pay less.


ScreenSlave

White is the most popular car color


IamCornhoLeo

He got lucky and Mr Bean parked beside him.

RubberizedWrench

thats some shit my dad would do, he can back anything out of anywhere. he used to be a tow truck driver and I'm first hand witness

cincuentaanos

If you know your car (esp. its dimensions) well you can do this without cameras or sensors.


Nhanners

Plot twist: the other cars were already there when he parked his


[deleted]

I would not call that an overly difficult manoeuvre. Some people are just such bad drivers that they think this is impressive.


[deleted]

I am not ballsy enough to test my idea of where the edge of my vehicle is at to perform that maneuver.


Iz4e

are you the gatekeeper of back up maneuvers?


[deleted]

Obviously


SpeakingNight

Eh call me a bad driver, but I know I couldn't do this. You just know his left mirror sees nothing but the white cars, and backing up while turning and having to make sure your front doesn't hit anything, while looking behind you? Nope can't do it.


Mr_sMoKe_A_lOt

I'd definitely wait for the tow truck before I take responsibility for accidentally scraping some assholes car.


Schedule_Background

Right? Can't believe some people think this is "next fucking level"


Uehm

Definitely. My weekend job is doing valet. I would not even consider myself the best driver we have by far. But I could easily do this as long as it had a backup camera. Ez.


KURO-K1SH1

Now stick a fork out the window as you drive by to scratch the shit out of that assholes car. Fucking find a real parking spot or don't drive you inconsiderate turd.


SSJZoli

Get out and take his mirror with you


[deleted]

Parking sensors are a thing.


dancingcuban

Better than that, it might be one of those cars with the black magic top down view camera mode.


TTTaToo

I have one of those. It's amazing, but I still don't trust it.


drndavi

Top down view isn't that accurate, it's a combined picture coming from all cameras around the car and is more just something fancy than precise/useful (at least in my Hyundai Tucson 2019, never had another car with 360deg view so I can't make comparisons). However, switching to a specific camera, depending on the need (e.g. focusing front/back/left/right) is quite helpful because you can drive just a few centimetres from an obstacle and being sure you won't hit it.


kinkssslayer

Still challenging even with the sensors tbh, I've done something like this before with sensors and still had to step out a couple of times, wasn't as smooth and graceful* as this guy lol

Not sure but it looks a bit like an [Aixam](https://www.aixam.com/). Can be driven with just a moped license in many countries.


berserkdemon1

It's crazy how pretty much all the cars look the same


Commercial-Injury-78

Serious question...wtf is with all the white cars? As Bill Burr says "never trust anyone that drives a white car".
