People are very good at not being crushed by moving things or falling into massive holes. I myself fail to be crushed or fall into a massive hole literally every time I use an elevator. Or go past a building site. Or…
The hole illustrated in the Tesla video is horrendously unsafe (almost like a https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paternoster), but I'm 100% certain the final product won't look anything like that.
Yeah because this short concept video surly is the final version.
People die pretty regularly when elevator doors open before the car has arrived. Elevator doors that don't open unless a car is there are a major safety feature.
No doubt, yet not my point. Out of interest, are you familiar with the Availability Heuristic? It’s something I find challenging to think around even when I spot it affecting my perception of likelihoods.
This is likely a heavily-stylized idea of the concept that'd evolve significantly when actually built. (The same has happened regularly with SpaceX videos.)
