Cuban invents a simulator for driving with curious parts: "Where is the brake?"

A young Cuban has created an original driving simulator using recycled parts, causing a sensation on TikTok. His clever invention stands out for its unique operation and humor on social media.


A young Cuban is capturing attention on social media with his ingenuity and creativity by creating a driving simulator that is both original and questionable.

Armed with a sewing machine pedal, a mouse, a computer, a piece of hose, old cardboard, and an antique showcase, he managed to bring to life a "vehicle" that is causing a sensation on TikTok.

The video of the invention was shared by the user @rubiercruz, who claims that the creator of the simulator is his cousin Rolando, a young man who has plenty of ideas and the determination to overcome challenges and enjoy driving.

The most curious aspect of all is not the appearance of the simulator, but its functionality. At first glance, the device has only one pedal, which has sparked all kinds of comments on social media:

"And the brake?", asked a user. Another replied, "Who has seen cars in Cuba have brakes?" and a third added the finishing touch to the joke when he said, "You stop by releasing the accelerator two blocks in advance."

With almost no budget and a great sense of humor, Rolando has shown that you don't need luxuries to dream big… although perhaps a brake to avoid online accidents is necessary. If the art of "making it work" had a world championship, this Cuban would be on the podium.
