Tesla | Autonomous Possibilities

[@williamstolley2165]

Moved to tears... whoever made this, I love you.

[@ApertureofmyEye]

Wow thank you : )... I made it... Coming up on almost 3 years ago... Time flies

[@Tigerman1138]

@@ApertureofmyEye Has it been that long???? I remember seeing it the first time and I too was driven to tears.

This advertisement has been nominated for an emmy. Well deserved.

[@johnnikolic6659]

Very well deserved!

[@johnnikolic6659]

Congrats on the Emmy nod cuz! I knew as soon as I saw this the first time that you were going places.

[@ApertureofmyEye]

Johnny BC thanks cuz!

[@louisfain]

Beautifully done! idk why but some scenes remind me of Interstellar! For a second I thought this was their official commercial, then I remembered Tesla doesn't spend any money on advertising. Tesla is so awesome to the point that the customers are making their own commercials for it. This is unprecedented for any other brand.

[@ApertureofmyEye]

That is undoubtedly one of the best compliments I have heard about this. Interstellar is one of my favorite films and a huge inspiration on my style. I’m glad you appreciate it so much!

[@Innertruth_official]

Wow! I thought that it was an official video by Tesla. This video moved me to tears. Well done!!

[@Schwing27]

This video made a couple tears fall. I never even thought of this until this view... although we are a few years away from a true near perfect completely safe auto pilot, the fact that knowing someone who is visually impaired or completely blind being able to get into a Tesla and go anywhere someday is truly amazing. What a great time to be alive. Elon is the greatest human of our time.

[@Tigerman1138]

Ryan Schwinghammer I cried a little when I first saw it. Amazing ad and thoughts.

[@lorenaandreas9627]

Oh man, seriously, i feel like a bad human cuz this hadn't even crossed my mind but the message is clear and moving. Seriously that's an amazing concept, great film!!! Go Troy.

[@imEliLucas]

amazing

[@mrwhite9]

I love how the first time through there's things you don't notice, like the thick glasses, or the handicap placard. Second time through you notice the details and just how well made this really is. Congratulations on the Emmy nomination.

[@ApertureofmyEye]

Matthew White haha thanks man. That placard holds a special place in my heart. Had it custom made and looks super cool.

It's a mind blowing short movie, Troy. I love watching it again and again. Beautiful score.

[@ApertureofmyEye]

Thank you man!! Glad you like it. Yes, the score truly is incredible. Scott Stedman made the music!

[@Tigerman1138]

You too huh?

[@Tigerman1138]

This should have millions of views. It really should.

[@Propheticgamerreacts]

I have vision problems but I’m getting ready for this car by studying for my permit so that when this becomes available I can have one

[@ApertureofmyEye]

I truly hope this is soon a part of our future for you. Good luck with the studying!

[@Propheticgamerreacts]

Troy Nikolic it will be heat sooner then u think. I went to a Tesla show room and sat in the model 3 and got to ask some questions. The guy who was answering my questions said he knew someone who works close with the self driving team who told him that he believes tesla will be fsd 3 years from now! I said really? And he said yes. Then I told him a dream that I had. Then I told him I had a talk with god about my future and that he told me you will have it when u have a car. I said go when will this take place and he told me when I was 33 and I’m turning 30 in November! So I hope it happens soon!

[@ApertureofmyEye]

That’s awesome!! 3 years ain’t too far!!

[@rollingthunderinho]

Troy Nikolic Tesla is now promising late 2020 for full self driving. Guess their team hit a big stride

[@helipilotpat]

Great! Thanks for showing the world what can be done in the near future.

[@ApertureofmyEye]

Thank you for the support and love!

[@JakeBrumby]

Autonomous driving will, for the first time in human history, permit blind people to "drive". The WHO estimated in 2012 that there were 285 million visually impaired people in the world. There are at least 3.4 million in the USA alone. Tesla is working extremely hard to make full autonomous driving a reality, as soon as possible.

[@ApertureofmyEye]

Yeah. It is a TON of people that are visually impaired. It’s important to consider people with other disabilities as well that would love the luxury of autonomous vehicles.

[@barendencrone]

Not just drive but take public transport. As well as cars there'll be walking frames that are exoskeleton smart devices with the same or better AI

[@audreymusk]

This is such a powerful Ad. The Possiilities are endless.

[@ApertureofmyEye]

Tigerman1138 aww. Thank you : ) glad it moved you

[@MrTBshaw]

The future is now. FSD Beta rolled out yesterday. This video being put out 2 years ago was, for lack of a better word, visionary.

[@ApertureofmyEye]

Wow, thank you! That's the hope at least, I really hope it opens up the world for people even further!

[@andrewdowdall2690]

Wow, that was amazing! I got goosebumps when he stepped out of the car and unfolded his cane then hugged his mother. I love how it's focused on the people instead of the car, and what an autonomous car from Tesla can do to help give someone who is blind their freedom. I'm hoping that my aging parents can take advantage of an autonomous car when the day comes and they can no longer drive. It won't be long as my Dad's eyesight is getting worse and my Mom's shoulder is pretty much shot.

[@exploringaround6777]

man... this came out 8 months ago. People need to see this. Amazing and beautifully done.

Right you are. We used a red epic with anamorphics. I love the look of anamorphics, so long as there isn’t a lot of lateral movement. They just give a very cinematic feel.

How can you drive without seeing very cool video

[@ApertureofmyEye]

Alex Padilla hey Alex. So the idea is that this is somewhere down the line... perhaps a few versions of auto pilot later... where the cars are able to drive with autopilot even better than now. Hope that helps!

@@ApertureofmyEye yes that is a dream how's the future great video

[@njp316]

But how would he navigate all of those controls buried within the touchscreen interface?

[@ApertureofmyEye]

It’s very possible to interface with a computer with limited vision. Voice command with intelligent feedback is the first thing that comes to mind.

@@ApertureofmyEye The opposite of a Black Mirror episode, if you will.

[@cybrstudd]

I like it, but one thing I noticed is that he's using a red and white cane which indicates he's both vision and hearing impaired. The video makes it seem like he can hear just fine, so it may be better to switch to a white cane.

[@ApertureofmyEye]

That’s very interesting. I was not aware. It was my intention that he is just blind... but for real world purposes, I’m really glad I know that now. Thank you.

[@humanbeing-001]

The future will be a odd place. Big and tiny drones will be flying by, in all directions. So what will happen if the "blind" gentlemen, in this case, crashes into a person walking? Who is at fault? The Automaker?

[@ApertureofmyEye]

I think the issues of technology improving and laws/ red tape being determined will go hand in hand to figure that all out

[@CharlesGregory]

The important thing is that you've found something to whinge about.

[@ewaldwolk2250]

its easy, IF we reach this Level of autonomous. The car itself and its insurance will be the fault. Why should there be a difference from a person ? The point is, the car will make far less faults then a human. There will be always accidents. But in the end who cares if its gonna be much more safe then before. Of course we need an company that will give all this cars their insurance. But thats just a thing which need to be cleared. Nothing big.

[@humanbeing-001]

Good Point, Ewald. I Guess people would always get accustomed to walking near self driving vehicles anyway. Like make sure it sees you and make sure it doesn't accelerate at you when you walking in front of it. We Humans must be careful until everything is worked out foolproof, and only then can we completely submit to our Boston Dynamics, AI Robot, smart grid overlords. Haha! Can't wait ! Jokes aside, but the future is headed in that direction. "Super" designer babies from gene editing. You want a super smart, super strong and super healthy and attractive child with blue eyes? Pay up. ok, can't afford that? You will just have a regular child who will never be able to compete with the new super humans. Robots mixed with human bodies. Brains mixed with computers.. It's all happening right now. And YOU and I are just not apart of it. The worlds richest war profiteers and billionaires will get to enjoy the "benefits" of being in control of this super technology and therefore in control of us mortals. And on levels even Orwell himself couldn't have imagined.

Autonomous vehicle might need to add another kind sensory system, i.e. hearing, to make it all possible. Haha.

[@ApertureofmyEye]

Well. As of now it has a really cool summoning feature as well as normal vehicle functions like the horn for unlocking. Surely there will be other features in the works. I imagine it may speak to users, giving proximity and guidance. Could be cool.

[@velocity5646]

I'm not a big fan of ads that try and build a sense of connection with characters by doing 'hallmark' moments, which is what I first felt like your ad was doing. Unlike other ads, your ad had a reason to be building a sense of character that actually connected with the product. So not lame, but it initially felt similar to 'lame' cliche. Well done!

[@ApertureofmyEye]

[@ApertureofmyEye]

I gotta agree. Tesla is certainly doing it very well in a super consumer friendly fashion. Waymo is interesting too. I just want FSD to happen very soon. It’s important.

[@davidlouys3952]

Whoever made this is extremely talented. But I don't like when companies hijack human emotions like empathy (towards people with disabilities for instance) in order to sell their products. I mean think about it. That's all advertising is : trigger emotions in your brain and then show their product, hoping that you (mistakenly) connects the dots and associate the product with the pleasant emotion, increasing the probability to buy it. That's downright manipulation. I sincerely hope Tesla doesn't take that path and restrain from that kind of ads.

[@ApertureofmyEye]

David Louys thanks. At the end of the day business is business. Companies must use tools they have to sell their product, which in turn provides jobs for people. Compassion is a fine tool to use if it’s genuinely assigned to the product. I made this on my own accord though and my main goal was to sell the idea of autonomous driving possibilities for differently abled individuals not the product itself. Hope that helps.

[@davidlouys3952]

@@ApertureofmyEye Well yes, companies have one goal : that you end up buying their stuff. And that's perfectly fine, I was just underscoring the fact that in order to trigger that behavior, they often bypass critical thinking by relying on emotions. And when they do so through the plight of people they pretend to care about, I find it so outrageous it could in fact decrease the probability that I'll buy their product. Tesla I think could stand out by not relying on the same old sale recipes that define their competitors

[@ApertureofmyEye]

David Louys Totally. Agreed.

[@PhilippZ]

Hm, that's a 10 year old Model S without cameras, so it can't even do FSD.
