BOOM
HERE COMES THE BOOM
Nathanfake
I enjoyed that
GreenMnM
What would it have taken to look over your shoulder? Honestly. Most accidents could be solved by just paying attention to your surroundings
DidItForScience
Well that's an expensive mistake.
uzetaab
That truck probably cost a lot more than 25k
PeeterGrant
You can hear the gust of wind come just at the wrong time.
Imalwaysready
They should have tried not flying it into the path of a truck.
usernametakenisthestoryofmylife
The truck was waiting behind a billboard all morning to do that.

The joys of CGI.
Touchesthings
Right?! I'm glad I'm not the only one that sees it.
cafecafe
It is resurfacing from time to time and had been analysed in details before. Can't remember the details, but many things just don't add up
JoeGringo
The Ukranian Farmers Army anti drone tech is wild!
Meyek
Plot twist: the truck was seized from the Russian army
Santorrr
No that's just the plot
ZaphodBbx
I hope it had insurance...to cover the damage it caused.
clamdriver
Professional pilots have spotters and decent hearing. Epic failure .
dobe0TieDancer
I mean not all of them. I have a part 107 license and I'm deaf. None of my gear has been hit by trucks either.
DaveSamsonite
That is a massive drone
notadiddler69
This was a massive drone
DaveSamsonite
It probably cost at least two money.

You mean pilot flies 25k drone in front of very heavy dump truck hauling down the highway
stonebreaker6
That looked expensive
isaparty
But is the DRIVER okay?
itsanuglyplanetabugplanet
The use of drones and rc flying vehicles is very restricted in my country. Sometimes this sucks. But sometimes i understand.
warcat91
Why launch on road and not in a field somewhere??
interGameTraveler
Hahahah skynet...
TeamRobot
Mind boggles. How can someone get to the position where they can pilot something like this and not have any spacial awareness?
SpendsTooMuchTimeHere
And a competent spotter.

What an idiot
titoitoi
God's fault - that's the "Mein Gott" bit
TinyDeadpool
He definitely did NOT say 'Mein gott' :D looks like Asia, based on the 3 wheel vehicle in front and the lettering on the side of the car at the last seconds of video
WhatzitTooya
And the road markings are different, as well as the Straßenbegrenzungspfeiler.
kimst
Maybe it's obvious but I got to ask anyway. Who is the idiot in this case? The drone opperator or the truck?
WellWellWellLookWhoItIs
100% the drone operator
Turdhammer
You're driving down the road, and there's a truck stopped in the road for some reason. No signs, no cones, no lights, no flagger, no visible people, so you just keep driving right? Suddenly a god damn drone flies out from behind the vehicle right as you pass it. How on earth woukd that be anyone's fault but the dumbass who; didn't put out any sort of warning, stopped IN THE ROAD, and launched a drone FROM THE ROAD?
mattrixk
The truck driver is driving their truck on a road, all perfectly normal and legal. The drone is sitting on a road, then takes off directly into the path of oncoming traffic. There are many ways this could have been avoided by the drone operator, such as looking to see if something was coming, going any direction except the way they went, or _not using a bloody public road_!
unsneakyLurker
There's even an open field literally 10 feet away!
StarmineRendezvous
Idk if flying drones around requires a license, but if so, remove theirs. Anywhere but a highway road 3 ft away from traffic would work.
WellWellWellLookWhoItIs
In the US flying a drone that size absolutely does require a license.
RomanValkre
That feels a little on the expensive side... looks like the driver should be ok... may need some new pants.
clamdriver
That thing took up an entire lane.
JabesMcJabesface
Anyone have the news story for this?
Northstar219
It's been reposted on imgur a handful of times. Top comment the last time cited a bunch of sources showing that the video is fake. Something about how the shadows don't make sense
TheMayorOfTittyCity
Everyone always has a different reason why they think its fake, and they directly contridict each other. The shadow is cgi because... vs the shadow is real but shot from a different location because ... vs the shadow is real and shot here but the truck is super imposed because ... . Those cant all be true at the same time. Whenever people are all convinced its fake for different reasons that cant coexist, it means they have no idea, and everyone is just making up something different.
TheMayorOfTittyCity
Even on this post. Someone said it is fake because the shadow "doesn't tilt" when the drone flies, although someone immediately posted a pic of the part of the shadow that is clearly see tilting. Someone else replied that it's fake because the tree, which is higher, has a lighter and blurrier shadow, which is literally just how shadows work. Which means they all read something is wrong with the shadow, but dont know what, so they are just going to say 'something'.
Northstar219
Tbh, I don't remember the comment I read all that well. I just remember it was enough to convince me. I think they had a link to the studio that made the video. Like, it was a demonstration of their cgi capabilities or some such. Then I saw similar comments the next few times this same video was posted. This was all months ago
TheMayorOfTittyCity
The number of times this has been posted, and the myriad number of different ways people have attempted to explain how its fake, you would think at least one person on the entire internet would have an actual source about it being fake. But no, never. There are no sources here, I have never seen a source, and searching all the times it has been on redit and all the random blog posts, there is no credible evidence it is fake. Maybe you have the one real source. By the way, do you have the source?

Correction: Drone hits semi
dirtyFrenchman
Came here to say this. Drone operator should face punishment to this real lack of judgement.
gablestout
Losing their $25k drone is a good way to start
MechanicalRomance
I mean the drone jumped in front of the semi. It would be weird to say a pedestrian hit a car.
"Hit" really conveys who brings more force to the equation, rather than who is at fault specifically.
vegivamp
No, hit conveys who went into the other party along their line of travel. You got a punching bag with your first, despite the pounding bad having far superior mass.
The truck hit the drone. If the drone had waited another second or two, it would have hit the truck in the side instead.
MechanicalRomance
Dude you're agreeing with me. Shut up.
MechanicalRomance
Force is m*a and since the punching bag doesnt fucning moce its not bringing any force to the equation. Youre agreeing with me. Youre not making any sense but youre agreeing with me. The truck hit the drone. The drone jumped in front of the car.
If the drone had hit the sode of the truck, relative to the collision the truck would be mostly stationary so again, the dron would be bringing most of the force to the collision. So the dron would hit the truck.
Youre point is bad.
vegivamp
Very well, given that you don't seem to get the analogy, how about this: a pebble hits your car. Is the pebble bringing more force than the car?
MechanicalRomance
I mean people alternatingly will use "i hit a pebble" or "i got hit by a pebble" to describe that. Its not a universal form
And youre still agreeing with me. Your comment was "no the truck hit the drone"
Which is what i said.
MightyIink
A road is not a helipad...
xcrit
There are 2 types of people that think they have complete and unrestricted access to roads but traffic laws don't apply to them. Drone pilots and bikers.
JaimeLannistersRightHand
Why the shade on bikers?
xcrit
I live down a 2+ mile long road with no shoulder, just road then yard then sidewalk and bikers ride 2-3 wide and just look back and glare. I’m not saying they should ride on the side walk but let cars pass especially around rush hour in the morning.
Ghlargh
Are you forgetting cops?
NotAPervert
Cyclists, bikers are slightly different / better but can still be pretty damn bad
xcrit
I've more than a few times almost hit many different bikers because they blow through stop signs and red lights. If they think I'll be able to stop for them they don't understand how much of a piece of shit my El Camino is.
NotAPervert
Ah, so you actually did mean motorcycles and not bikes, sorry to assume
xcrit
Nope, cyclists. On their fancy bikes pedaling their butts off and waving their hands at drivers.
Account3577
I know a lot of bikers, their ability to switch from blaming all accidents on car drivers for not being careful enough round bikers, to sharing stories about messing around and doing stupid illegal things on the road is astonishing.

And its often not a cost situation but rather a lifestyle choice. They don't value their own lives nor anyone else on the road.
BodgeandScarper
Whenever this gets posted, invariably, we get told it's fake. If it is, it's a good fake!
ReadMyLeaders
Dudes, it fake. Look at the shadow of the tree. It's blurry because it's made by a real sun that takes up a portion of the sky. The fake shadow of the drone is generated by a pointlike light source, so it's very sharp. Also the tree's shadow is a different color than the drone's shadow
TheMayorOfTittyCity
By different colors, you mean darker? As in a shadow from an object closer to the ground? And a sharper shadow, also as in a shadow from an object closer to the ground? You are just describing how shadows work.
KingMagenta
It's one of those videos where the quality is just a bit too low to fully tell. Some jankiness right before collision but could be artifacts
Like2Fox
Which part of it is fake? Looks pretty real to me
BodgeandScarper
I think so too! I'm waiting on the naysayers to say nay...and explain
Like2Fox
I don't think anyone is challenging that so far
eadanke
I guess the shadows don't diffuse as it ascends, and there's no large drone parts on the road after it hits. But nothing damning.
HolelickmutterIgotcheeses
You can tell it is fake by the shadow. When the drone tilts the shadow doesn’t change.
TalaayaCosplay
Are you implying that they hand painted a shadow instead of using the actual shadow tech all rendering software has?
CitizenPrime
TheNLK
It does though.. Just not that much because it doesn't tilt much. Is the video real? Yep. Is it staged? Probably.
Sidewaysgts
I remember someone pointing out in response to this that you can see the shadow pivot, just not much because of the angle of light - and they highlighted parts of the shadow that make this not obvious.
you’ll see 2 bits circled here that squeeze together as it tilts forward
Sidewaysgts
More obvious*. Auto correct got me
Sidewaysgts
HEARTS0FSPACE
It's 100% real. Movement, shadows, etc. It all aligns. Nothing jumps out as obviously fake. Yes, there's a lot of fake shit out there, but there is no reason to think everything is fake just because it could be fake. I hate the knee-jerk responses from so many people. Remember the Boston Dynamics dancing robots video? So many people called it fake and it pissed me off so much because they provided no evidence to make such claims. CGI is still pretty easy to detect; this video is not CGI.
MonkeyJohn
The angle of the drone changes as it tilts forward but the shadow stays exactly the same. Also notice the lack of sound.. drones are loud AF.
HEARTS0FSPACE
The shadow does change, though...it clearly changes. The sound is whatever. Hard to know if that's even the original clip, so I'm not going to judge it based on the sound.
stackhousefilibuster
Yeah, I never get those comments. It's clearly real but even if it was CGI who would do that?! Build rigged assets, animate, add destruction, a hand held camera to track, all to make a four second clip that would be pretty unimpressive on a showreel and has zero monetary value.
HEARTS0FSPACE
Exactly.

The truck. Not going to be very useful once it runs out of fuel, but that's a problem for after.

Speculative answer: stuffed animals. There's a possibility they'd become overpowered familiars, knowing that genre. Also a musical instrument if I have time to reach, and hope it gets enchanted too.
