Sounds to me like you haven’t had a board ghost into a stranger’s car. It’s fucking terrifying. Ask me how I know.
A board ghost into a strangers car?
Onewheels are self-balancing electric skateboards. They have a sensor on the footpad that activates the motor while you’re standing on it. For quite a while the manufacturer of the boards was having an issue where the sensor would stay stuck on, so when you stepped/fell off the board it would just take off under it’s on power until it ran into something and broke or lost its balance and tipped over. The manufacturer kept denying and denying and denying and gaslighting. Then after enough negative press from people like Louis Rossman and a lady that got sent to the hospital after a board slammed into her, the US government stepped in and threatened to shut down the company if they didn’t acknowledge and fix the issue so they finally did something about it.
Oh I see the way you phrases it confused me lol. I have one, that would scare the shit out of me 😂
You are correct. I would not know about that, because I ripped out their hardware and put in open source stuff, upgraded the sensors and added a dead man’s switch.
So then why the dig at Rossman?
Because I personally feel that he is an alarmist who blows a lot of l shit out of proportion, despite generally agreeing with the principles behind him doing what he does.
It’s okay to not like someone’s content and take on things. it also doesn’t necessarily mean that I’m not aligned with the basic premise of his work in other cases. I just don’t like how he represents the topics or the degree to which he inflates their importance.
