Remote control cars


Please can someone explain how the fembot was able to assume remote control of 4 vehicles?

No car I know of back then could engage any systems such as accelerator, brakes, clutch, gears, without someone in the car doing it.

And also how could she control these vehicles outside her range of vision? Or were they always within her sight?

reply

well , ill take a punt that ....
Little nano bots came off her fingers and used spare material to fashion mini cranes and suchlike to operate the pedals etc.
Also a few of them formed into a drone to watch the chase and radio back the details...

cos nanos can do anything right?

reply

well in this universe the already have AI and some Terminators, so Id think the also have autonomous cars by then.

reply

T3 is set in 2004. Your average vehicle in 2004 had no remote control functionality.

reply

we didnt have terminators in 2004 either. or skynet. so whats your logic there? the movie is not (our) reality.

reply

The Terminators came from the future. The cars didn't.

reply

In a universe when robots surrounded by actual living human matter can time travel I think you are asking too many questions.

reply

As far as we know, robots traveling through time might just be a possible thing in our universe.

Controling cars made in 2000 by only using an inboard computer is definitely impossible.

A mark of good fantastic fiction is to assume the world is not changed unless it is specifically stated otherwise. So, yes, Terminators are fantastic things and don't exist in 2004 unless they come from the future. But unless the films establishes that the cars have remote control capability, or the terminator is shown establishing some type of control mechanism (nano bots or whatever) then they should not be able to be remote controlled. It is one of the flaws of this film.

the terminators T1-n were present in that time, have you watched it??? also skynet the superadvanced AI. by the time our reality has such things we also have autonomous cars. autonomous cars being the most realistic scifi thing there. if you want superrealism, dont watch sci-fo movies or anything related to entertainment. yeez
brb; complaining about explosions in every space movie on imdb

reply

Yes I've watched it unfortunately, and have tried to forget it as much as possible.

It's nothing to do with supperealism - films must have an internal logic. This doesn't.

reply

neither did T2. Liquid Metal Terminator? Sure. How did he pass the Timemachine btw. And why wouldnt he be send to 1984. How could John exist, when they stopped Skynet?

Nice one

You sound like you don't even understand the basic premise of all Terminator movies.

And you sound like you don't understand these reply boxes.

entertainment?

reply

That logic still doesn't align with the reality this movie has established.

reply

Same way it was done in The Fate and the Furious. It is possible

reply

No actually it isn't, the pedals and steering wheels are completely mechanical. Cars today sure they are made of computer tech so I could buy that. But at the most, computer chips in 2004 only controlled emissions, power features, etc. Even Mercedes back then had way over engineered technology for the 04 models but even those were still mechanical as far as using the throttle and steering wheel. These were crown vics, a ford econoline van and I can't remember what the fire truck was but either way they were basic as far as engine computer chips limitations went.

Anything with nanobots is always unconvincing.
