By Editor • September 4, 2026 • 1 min read
A new short film titled 'Road Rage' is turning the spotlight on autonomous vehicles, portraying them not as futuristic marvels but as menacing threats in a San Francisco car chase.
Blending elements of classic thrillers like 'Bullitt' and 'Christine', the film explores the unsettling reality of robotaxis, which have transitioned from mere technological curiosities to symbols of modern anxieties surrounding artificial intelligence and corporate dominance.
Currently seeking $40,000 in funding through Kickstarter, 'Road Rage' taps into societal fears about job displacement due to automation and the implications of machines making crucial decisions traditionally handled by humans, resonating with audiences in an era increasingly defined by these concerns.
