    Ok but that’s just evil.

    They painted it at a T junction, you can see there’s a road coming from the opposite direction, and at night, anybody who’s not local could have fallen for that and just assumed it was normal crossroads.

    There’s also barely, if any, sidewalk in front of the painting, that could at least have alerted the driver.

    It’s pure luck that the guy wasn’t driving fast, or there’d be dead bodies because of this stupid prank. This needs jail time, even if suspended.

      It looks like a cartoon tunnel that no one should be fooled by unless they were severely distracted or impaired. The lack of signage should make it obvious.

        Tesla’s on “full” ““auto”” “”“pilot”“” will plow right into what looks like a road. Mike or Mark Robber tested various self driving cars against a painted curtain with boxes behind it, Tesla’s not only failed to stop, they would disengage auto-pilot a split second before colliding, so doesn’t count as auto failure.

          Tesla plows into emergency vehicles with lights flashing, it also tries to run into regular walls on occasion. It’s hardly relevant to anything about driving skills.

      At night, I hope you drive with your lights on and see that the light somehow can not make it through the entry of the tunnel.

      how do people actually fall for this

      It’s dark. They’re tired. They know a turn is coming up but can’t see it due to the lights from oncoming traffic

            Lol exactly my thought too.

            “How can you not see even if it’s dark” idk dude wait until your 73 and trying to drive home at night while oncoming traffic has bright lights in your face I guess.

            cause if they knew that the turn was coming and they knew the road well, how did they not notice that the tunnel had never been there, and why did they try to drive into it? whenever I’m driving in a place I know very well/I live in I basically just go on autopilot and drive to where I need to go.

                your grammar’s wrong

                its “I’ve never met someone you who is immune to making from mistakes.”

                now that I know that you don’t like it I’m probably just gonna do it more

                I know somebody’s gonna be like “but Jesus said don’t point out a splinter in somebody else’s eye when you have a plank in yours” but I’m just teasing >_<
