Briefly: Crazy Concept Cars, MMO Sugar Daddies, GoPro Hero5 Review

Brief news items of note for Lifehacker readers, including: Truckie dash cam disasters, craziest concept cars, is the GoPro Hero5 worth the money?

  • Concept cars have long been the testing bed for cutting-edge technology and design. But some are simply too outlandish to ever make it into production. Gizmodo looks at eight of the weirdest.
  • Apparently, massive multiplayer online (MMO) sugar daddies are a thing — and they’re making female-based avatars virtually wealthy and/or uncomfortable. Kotaku has the story.
  • Being a truckie in Australia is hard. For proof, check out this dash cam compilation of the kind of things that truckies have to deal with — cars swerving in front of them to change lanes, pulling up too quickly in gaps that are too small, not paying attention at all, and otherwise just generally being useless.
