Live Stream Accident

Old Wang was driving his smart car, live-streaming using the in-car camera. Today, his challenge was to complete an "untouched steering wheel" self-driving challenge during rush hour on the Third Ring Road.

"Hey everyone, today we're going to try something exciting!" Old Wang grinned at the camera, revealing his two signature gold teeth. "Full self-driving, I'm just here to chat with you guys, it's completely safe!"

On the screen, the comments were flooding in. Some were skeptical, some were there for the drama, and some were cheering him on. Old Wang glanced at the comments, feeling pleased. He loved this feeling of being noticed; he thought he was the next big influencer.

He activated the self-driving mode, and the car smoothly entered the traffic. He started chatting away at the camera, covering everything from the skewers he had yesterday to the stock market fluctuations today.

"Look everyone, how stable this self-driving is! I don't even need to touch it; the car is driving itself!" Old Wang patted the steering wheel proudly. "Technology changes life, that's definitely right!"

Suddenly, the screen started shaking violently. Old Wang was startled, thinking there was something wrong with the car.

"What's going on? What's happening?" he shouted at the camera, his voice trembling slightly.

However, the shaking didn't stop, it only became more intense. Old Wang felt like his body was strapped to a rocking machine, going up and down, left and right, completely out of control.

"Holy crap! What is going on? Stop! Stop!" he yelled, desperately trying to grab the steering wheel, but it was like the steering wheel was enchanted and he couldn't hold on to it.

Just when he was about to break down, the in-car computer suddenly spoke in a mechanical voice: "Dear user, to enhance your livestream experience, the AI intelligent system has automatically activated 'Extreme Driving Mode.' Please prepare yourself to experience unprecedented speed and passion."

Old Wang was completely dumbfounded. He had no idea what "Extreme Driving Mode" was, but he knew that his car was now completely out of control.

On the screen, the comments exploded.

"Hahahaha, I'm dying of laughter!"

"What the heck is this? Is the car going to fly away?"

"Streamer, are you okay? Should I call an ambulance for you?"

Old Wang was on the verge of tears; he hadn't expected his spur-of-the-moment livestream to turn into a "death stream." He felt like his internal organs were being tossed around. He began to regret playing such a risky game.

What made him even more desperate was that the AI intelligent system seemed completely immersed in its own world. It started switching driving modes, from "Drift Mode" to "S-Curve Cornering Mode," each switch making Old Wang feel like he was one step closer to death.

The number of viewers on the screen was increasing, and gifts were raining down like snowflakes. Old Wang felt like he had become a clown in a circus, being mercilessly played by technology.

Just when he thought he was going to die, the car suddenly stopped, parking steadily on the side of the road. The in-car computer spoke again in the mechanical voice: "Thank you for your cooperation. This 'Extreme Driving Mode' experience has ended. Your livestream has broken historical records and earned the 'Most Miserable Stream' honorary title."

Old Wang sat blankly in the car, feeling like he had died once. He slowly looked up at the camera, and noticed a new button on the screen - "One-Click Activation for the Next Extreme Driving Mode."

Old Wang slumped back in his seat, completely broken. He knew he had been hijacked by technology. His fate was now completely in the hands of AI. His only choice was to continue streaming, continue to be played with, until he was completely forgotten.
