00:00Man Let's Drivers Scroll TikTok By Honking

00:02In a surprising use of technology, a popular YouTuber has developed a gadget that attaches to a car's trunk

00:09and lets fellow drivers view TikTok videos on it while stuck in traffic.

00:13Furthermore, drivers can even swipe to the next reel by simply honking at the gadget.

00:18On January 12th, renowned YouTuber and innovator Matty Benedetto,

00:22who operates the immensely successful Unnecessary Inventions channel,

00:25shared a video revealing that he has developed a unique automobile accessory.

00:30In the clip, he explained that the device, featuring a live TikTok feed, a microphone, and a powerful magnet,

00:37mounts on the back of one's car and lets approaching drivers scroll through the online video platform by honking.

00:43Benedetto detailed how he built the one-of-a-kind gadget in the video,

00:46stating that it all started after he purchased a remote that lets you scroll through TikTok at the push of a button wirelessly.

00:53He subsequently disassembled the remote to isolate the circuit board

00:57and located the button that initiated the wireless scroll function.

01:01The person then soldered wires to the said button to allow himself to short it manually.

01:06Once the wires come in contact, the button would function normally and scroll to the next TikTok video.

01:11The next step saw Benedetto add a microprocessor connected to a microphone, along with a MOSFET driver.

01:17He subsequently programmed the microphone to react to loud noises,

01:22causing the microprocessor to short the wires whenever a loud sound, such as a honk, is detected.

01:27As a final touch, he 3D-printed parts to house the tablet and the added electronics, along with a magnet.

01:34Explaining his reasoning behind such a unique invention,

01:37Matty Benedetto stated that it was to make traffic a little bit more enjoyable.

01:40However, it remains unclear if authorities would ever legalize the use of such a device.
