BMW at TED2018: Testing its self-driving car with a twist of boredom, beauty, and noodles

Oh great, another article about BMW’s self-driving car. Yawn. But wait, this one comes with a twist – they tested it by doing some seriously mundane stuff like reading books, applying mascara, and eating ramen. Now that’s what I call groundbreaking research.

The art of being bored behind the wheel

In their quest to make driving as unexciting as possible (because who needs excitement in life?), BMW decided to see how well their autonomous vehicle could handle the mind-numbing task of reading books. Because why not? Who needs an actual human driver when you can have a robot chauffeur who can also double up as your personal librarian?

Autonomous beauty on wheels

Moving on from the thrilling world of literature, BMW wanted to test if their self-driving car could help you look fabulous while stuck in traffic. So they had someone sit in the backseat and apply mascara while the car did all the work. Because nothing screams “sophistication” like putting your trust in a machine to avoid poking yourself in the eye with a mascara wand.

Ramen rendezvous on autopilot

If there’s one thing we all love doing while driving (besides honking at other drivers), it’s trying to eat noodles without crashing into something. Well fear not my fellow noodle enthusiasts because BMW has got you covered! They put their self-driving car through its paces by having someone slurp down ramen noodles while cruising along effortlessly. Finally, no more worrying about spilling hot broth on your lap during rush hour!

In conclusion… meh

So there you have it, folks. BMW took their self-driving car and put it through some truly groundbreaking tests – reading books, applying mascara, and eating ramen. Because apparently, that’s what the future of driving is all about. Exciting stuff, right? Well, not really. But hey, at least we can look forward to a future where we can be bored out of our minds while a robot takes us from point A to point B.
