A video of some ‘anti-sleep’ lasers that was supposedly captured on a Chinese highway in 2022 has gone viral on Twitter this week.
The clip is being branded “terrifying” as people fear the lights will cause more accidents, while others say it reminds them of a famous video game.
‘Anti-sleep’ lasers on Chinese highway
In the viral video, a car is driving along an empty highway at night and you can see some bright lights flash on in the distance.
The multicolored beams cover the entire road before flashing off again. Then, they reappear in different colors and patterns.
As the car gets closer, you can see that the hues of blue, green, pink and red are being shone from eight bulbs on a bridge.
“A video captured on the Qingdao–Yinchuan Expressway displays vibrant laser lights hovering above the vehicles,” the caption says.
“Mr. Li, the person behind the camera, reported that these laser lights designed to combat fatigue quickly revitalized him and reduced his exhaustion during a prolonged nighttime.”
It was supposedly captured on December 31, 2022, and uploaded to Newsflare, who say the lights prevent drivers from falling asleep at the wheel.
It’s had more than 48 million views, but it’s not clear if the clip is actually real as there are no other videos of the lasers online.
It reminds people of a video game
In the comments, people are all in agreement that it looks like Rainbow Road from the popular video game Mario Kart.
Rainbow Road is the final course of the Special Cup in the Nintendo racing game, a course that’s set in space.
Drivers have to navigate through a bright rainbow-colored road with no sides that’s floating in the dark sky.
One person wrote on Twitter: “That’s wild, it’s the real world version of Rainbow Road.”
“Rainbow Road is real,” said another.
A third person added: “Rainbow Road? Say less.”
“What is this? It’s like Mario Kart!” a fourth tweeted.
Lasers are ‘distracting’
Others are saying the lights wouldn’t actually keep you awake at all and would cause more harm than good.
“This would distract me,” someone said.
Another added: “Might cause epileptic seizures.”
“That is so disorientating,” a third person agreed.
Someone else wrote: “I think this will create more accidents.”
