Volvo Trucks - The Epic Split feat. Van Damme

[@SpencerBarton]

[@otaking71]

A rare comment from me to explain why this stunt is actually 100% real and give people a better appreciation of this video. Rewatch this a few times after you read my post. 1) The trucks are driven in reverse for two reasons. People who've driven anything with a trailer know how difficult it is to keep it completely steady in reverse. The secondary reason is there's less possibility of JCVD being run over, if he were to have fallen off. 2) The trucks are _NOT_ identical. The truck on the left of the video is 3 axled and the truck on the right is 5 axled. What this means is the truck on the left is a box truck, while the truck on the right is a truck + trailer. This is important as it explains why the truck on the left is the one that moves. If you turn while reversing a trailer, the trailer WILL turn in the opposite direction. This means if the truck on the right had done the spreading, the trailer would have moved closer to the other truck and made the stunt impossible. If you want to try this in real life...push and pull a kids wagon or a pallet jack while turning. You'll understand why this is so significant. 3) There are 4 people you can see in the trucks. Two of them are watching the solid lines to understand spacing. The other two are observing the dotted lines...notice the right truck occasionally has a white spot show up near the right side of the right truck. The dotted lines and spots are used by the other two people to gauge their timing/speed. This is an absolutely amazing and creative stunt. Hats off to whoever designed the stunt in it's entirety; they really thought it out.

[@lizzieball3795]

It's incredible.i still remember my amazement the first time I saw this,as he was lowering into the split.I will never forget that. It is transcential art expressed through the intelligence that designed and engineered the technology, jcvd's talent,skill and strength, and enya's beautiful music. My interpretation is ; THIS represents and encompasses the things we(our civilization ,in the new millennium)value, and strive for; beauty,knowledge,innovation,determination, love, PEACE. That the majority of humans are not narcissistic, greedy, cruel, war mongerers portrayed by the mainstream media.

Honest question: do you think the trucks are actually driven or rather in auto mode following the lanes on the road?

[@pluton80]

Well, it's the dynamic steering technology. This is what the ad is about.

[@kasel1979krettnach]

yes its really amazing. did you see that the truck with the "simpler" kinematics is the one steering, whereas the more complicated one stays on a straight line ?

[@mistervova11]

@@kasel1979krettnach Ah yeah didn't notice it. The one that moves doesnt have a trailer behind it, which makes it easier to steer backwards. But it's still impressive that he could hold the other tractor trailer truck in a straight line with that speed.
