I'd like to hear the Japanese version of this.

> I'd like to hear the Japanese version of this. >> I’m willing to bet the Japanese version sounds much more urgent and serious lol You be the judge [0], in a US spec LHD Z31 no less. There is a whole market for these kind of things, and Nissan Japan has been well aware of this. Check out the aftermarkets try at this anime sounding DASAI unit in an S15 [1]. Nissan JP took it even further when it announced its e-Power…

Found it [0], in later videos from CES they mentioned it being linked to the metaverse; which honestly explains why this never took off as a feature.

Still, it's pretty interesting to see how quick Nissan were to spend resources on this when they realized there was a market for non-living based co-pilots. Dasai made one called Mochi [1] which you mount on your steering wheel which is a pretty innovative, low-tech alternative aimed at the tuner market.

It's kind of funny in a sad way, and know I'm going to sound old; but I'd rather spend money on defi gauges or tires to shred than these pointless gadgets as 50% of the time I ran mountain/track were in groups.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

You had 50 cars til now? What are you doing to those cars? Driving not longer than a year?

> You had 50 cars til now? Easily. Probably before even hitting my early 30s. The term is known as carcaine for a reason, funny enough I attribute not getting into (much) trouble growing up to cars, and it's what gave me access to meeting more people in tech/engineering/medical fields than just about anything else when I was outside of it. I spent most of my teenage years and young adult life immersed in motorsports…

Thanks for the explanation. You living in Germany makes it even weirder, in Austria only the registration of the car is like 250$ one time payment, I guess in Germany its the same?

If I count correctly in the 10 years I've driven since getting my driver's license I had 4 cars already. So depending on your age 50 still sounds high but not that high anymore.

Curious about your age and net worth tbh, so it makes more sense
