Stop. They only have faces when you look.
Don’t believe the meme about NPCs: people are people
That’s what the experience of “sonder” is. It’s that very realisation about everyone.
“Every other car” so only half the people driving are npc then? Thats far less then i thought. Thats pretty encouraging actually.
Every two cars
Half of the cars
Even those could be interpreted two different ways 😄
Nar nar. You’ve misunderstood. It’s every other car is a person with life goals. It’s nothing to do with drivers.
My thought is, um, yeah? That’s why we let them merge.
The freaky thing is drivers who criticize other drivers as if they can hear, or the other car AI can and cares.
I don’t criticize them expecting them to hear it. I’m more confirming that the stupidity I’m seeing is actually happening and I’m not hallucinating it.
This should be something taught by the DMV to get your license.
I’m 100% sure I’ve seen video game AI drive better than at least 40% of people on the roads, no way they’re not NPCs
It seems one of those life goals are to drive 15 miles per hour lower than the speed limit in the passing lane, and not passing anyone. Every single time I take to the road.
Only every other car though, not all of them
When the simulation is low on resources, it starts running cars with full tint so it doesn’t have to draw the npcs
It reduces the driver AI setting for those cars, too.
yeah I’m gonna be using this word a lot
Of the 8 billion people on the planet, there’s only one that thinks you’re the main character.
There’s actually 2! My mom and me 🥹
Reminds me of this study from a few months back: Study Finds Cyclists Are Better People Than Drivers
I usually do this mental thought when on the roads looking at houses thinking a whole family lives there with dreams, joys, tragedies, fascinating stories, etc.
I try to keep that mindset when meeting strangers, taking interest in that unknown world.
I do that too and am disappointed that I’ll never know their life stories. I think it’s a good thing I’m an introvert.
That’s fine, just get the hell out of the passing lane if someone is coming up behind you.
This is why we must destroy all cars.
