These videos from the last few days are likely mods from a game like GTA or Spider-Man. People do it all the time for fun. Or a would-be developer having fun in Unreal Engine seeing what they can do.

Same deduction for me in the same order. My question is, why? How many hours does one person spend to generate that and for what purpose?
It's not that hard to do. Take a video of another car doing the donuts and superimpose the Cybertruck on top. I bet this took less that 2 hours to complete.

It's pretty scary to think what CGI will look like in 10-years.

This looks so dangerous and I love it, not that I would do that on my CT. I think this is a test they have to performed for some metric. The color seem dark, and I think it in low light. Color look like dark copper, which is nice though.

Um.... How many hours have each of us spent "researching" the CT by reading this site? Is there really any difference?

The amazing thing about getting older is we have been through the loop of dreaming what some things could become, and actually seeing them come true.

Playing the new Test drive 2 on the Amiga 500, wow ! driving the Testerossa, I turned to my mate... 'One day, we won't be sure if it's a real car or not. Maybe we won't know if they are real people.'

Now I'm thinking I will watch a movie, and say...
'I liked that movie... render me a part 2, but tweak with more fun and adventure.

30 secs later there it is.

Sounds great...but jeez... what a disruption.

I ask that question based off my experience working for a Design Build Contractor. I was sitting next to a team of 10 BIM modelers that prepared animations and graphics for our proposals in addition to BIM models for Operations.

A short video showing cars traveling over a new interchange would take weeks to create and days to render. Even that seems like a waste of overhead expense but when we're pursuing projects in the $100M - $2B range it's worth spending the $4k on the video.

But that was over a decade ago, so I can understand if the amount of effort isn't the same.
