Off-topic…Tesla Romance

Today, I watched a video released by Tesla titled "Autonomous Tesla Delivery | Full Drive". It's not a movie or a TV show—just a video. A 30-minute, real-time POV recording of a Tesla autonomously driving itself from the production line to the customer’s home. No fast-forwarding, no cuts—I stared at the screen for the full 30 minutes.

By all accounts, a video like this, with no acceleration or dramatic editing, should be boring. But the moment you realize that it's a fully autonomous drive with no humans in sight, it evokes a sense of beauty—one born from electricity and code.

Many people describe Tesla's achievements—from launching a Tesla into space, to SpaceX’s “chopstick” rocket recovery, to this seamless autonomous drive—as “astonishing.” But to me, beyond the astonishment, what I feel most is a sense of profound beauty and romance—a peak expression of what humanity is capable of creating.

不是电影,不是剧集,就是个视频。今天看到TESLA官方发布的视频【Autonomous Tesla Delivery | Full Drive】,30分钟。没有快进,没有跳转,就一直盯着屏幕看了30分钟一辆从产线下来的特斯拉依靠无人驾驶从工厂开到卖家手里。理论上说,整个没有倍速的驾驶座位POV视频是很无聊的,但当意识到这是一个没有任何人类在视野内的“日常“驾驶视频后,所能感受到就是来自电气和数字带来的单纯的美感。很多人会觉得TESLA一直所做成的事情,诸如把特斯拉轿车开进太空,以及SpaceX的“筷子夹火箭”再到如今看到丝滑的无人驾驶,称之为震撼。我却觉得震撼之余,更多的是一种作为人类能达到的极致美感和浪漫。
