A woman who borrowed her mother's new car says the machine greeted her by the wrong name, decided she was the wrong person, and then tried to fold her in half. Her account of the drive is a four-minute catalog of vanishing door handles, button gear selectors, and climate controls buried three menus deep.
The video was posted by Alet (@dr.mrs.knits), whose channel usually features stories and observations that match the motto in her bio, "In perpetual pursuit of whimsy." Her caption asked for "answers from the car people." The newest car she had driven before was a 2014. Now, she says, "We've upgraded out of every single thing that makes a car drivable.”
Her video has been watched more than 872,000 times.
"Intruder Alert. You're Not Phoebe"
The trouble started before she got the door shut. "There's no longer a little scoopy part where your hand goes. It's just a wall," she says, gripping with her fingertips and trying "to use the force" to pull it closed.
