Technology ramps up in Terminator Salvation with remote-controlled motorcycles dispatched by Skynet to destroy the humans.
In the future, your motorcycle drives itself!
Wired Magazine has reported on the Christian Bale’s upcoming Terminator Salvation flick. And among some very interesting technlogy is this wild “remote-controlled motorcycle dispatched by Skynet to destroy the humans.”
From the Director:
A.I. Meets Skynet: “Artificial intelligence was so foreign during the glory days of ’70s and ’80s science fiction -– Blade Runner, Alien, Terminator,” Mc G said. “In this day and age, it’s here! You spell a word wrong on your BlackBerry, it spells it right for you. You got a bad knee, they put a titanium one in there. If you’re depressed, we’re not going to talk about your mom and dad, we’re going to manipulate your serotonin re-uptake inhibitor and you’re going to feel better in two weeks. I’ve always loved stories about ‘That which makes us great will be our undoing.'”
[…] to this movie. The trailers look excellent. Very dark, but excellent. I particularly like the motorcycle based terminators. Never understood the idea of a bipedal, humanoid killing machine anyway, too easy to knock over. […]
Those robots just don’t know how to build a military vehicle.
