    Is it just me, or isn't there a better application for this technology. Like having sex with cars that look like women?

    So,

    a)spend 10 million dollars on a new AR goggle mechanic training system,

    OR

    b)spend 10 million dollars making more reliable cars.

    Option a), every time.

    Fine, as long as they have the VR of being able to throw a hammer when the damn bolt you are wrenching on is rusted to fuck.

    Will there also be skinned knuckles and forarms in it?

    and where are the techs Nitrile gloves?

    ah hell, it has been a long day in the trenches so it is Miller Time.

    and they don't have a the cold beer VR in there when the jobs done.....

    Great, now not only will my mechanic not possess a proper full set of end wrenches or a rudimentary ability to troubleshoot automotive issues they won't even be able to get started without skynet whispering in their ear "righty tighty, lefty loosey". Why leave that level of interpretation required between instructions and execution. Just make a robot mechanic and do away with the menial labor.

    This is real fancy and all, but I'd rather spend the extra money for someone with a proper mechanical aptitude and a knack for knowing what tends to go wrong with automobiles.

    Is this why BMW technicians charge like $500 per hour?

    @Hello Mister Walrus: techs don't charge that, dealerships do.

    that's why my car either goes under my own wrench, or to a local indy shop.
