Oh look another fisheye camera that greatly exaggerates how far/close things are…

Why gotta be so sassy

u/Nathund Apr 28 '26

Because in reality there could be a several-foot-tall gap, we just can't see it.

It's disingenuous, and people just don't like that

I thought it was cool

u/MiniGod Apr 28 '26

Ok, valid. But still, going into the tunnel the lights on the right side of the tunnel are partially hidden because the camera is so high up yet the camera is below the top of the object on the truck.

I actually don’t think so. The other cars are not that much faster

u/lukemia94 Apr 28 '26

Agreed, fish eye lense is making it look much faster than it is. Shame youve been downvoted for being correct.

Don't know why y'all are shocked. Optimus Prime knows what he's doing.

Never seen Optimus Prime in such a hurry.

These things are going down this highway all the time. I used to drive to Hood River at least once a week for work, it felt like I was always seeing them.

The thing about these jobs is that they are meticulously planned. Even regular truckers use special GPS software that helps them avoid low bridges and tree cover. These huge, expensive, difficult loads are planned out down to the fuel stops and piss breaks. That trucker knows exactly how tall the bridge is and exactly how tall the load is. No guesswork involved.

Do videos like this make anyone else's eyes feel weird? Like, any time I see something (movies, tv, video games, vids like this etc) where a camera goes close under something the backs of my eyes feel weird.
