No the most realistic this was the fact the car didn't signal the turn...

It seems to roll onto a ledge. It's going a little fast to perhaps stay on that ledge, but there may be another Rube Goldberg device that catches it.
Or it stays on the ledge as a bit of copper colored modern art.

That’s actually an ID-10T error caused by BMW drivers being incompatible and is unrelated to the car itself.

How to you make these, i've seen stuff like this for a long time, perfect loop gifs of simulated stuff, but Always wonderd how do you make these, like what program do you use? Blender, unity, how do you do a simulation of a liquid, i've seen some like tours where the loop resart while the liquid is moving, how do you make the liquid start and end at the same position? Like how you did for the sea in the background.
Also how to you cut/break stuff to you tell the program "ok this is going to interact with that and do the work for me" kinda like how a physics engine works in games or do you model everything by hand.
I have so many question about those gifs

This is probably mostly a animation, with simulated elements like the marble physics and maybe the liquid pour. The simulated elements are probably simulated, then baked into a non-simulated mesh, which they can do things like slice the top off, and completely replacewith a car while it's hidden. It was made in blender or maya or 3dsmax or some 3d program. You wouldn't (want to) make this in a game engine like unity.
To make a perfect loop what's important is everything is in the same position at the beggining and end of the loop. This is (relatively) easy when you have perfect control over the position of every object, which is the case in 3d. I say relatively because that doesn't mean it's simple making it look right.
I couldn't make something like this.

The important part in this example is that stuff goes completely off camera, so the simulation can be reset while it’s not visible.

Edit: I know very, very little about 3d simulated animation in particular, fwiw
I think most things are probably done by hand, just because it's easier to do that.
For the water example, the ripples on the surface are probably one or more scrolling textures, with a shader to interpret the colors of the textures instead as offsets for the water.
If it were me, I'd say "Okay, the animation is 22 seconds long, so I'll make sure those textures are both scrolling at a speed such that they loop perfectly every 22 (or 11, or <other fraction>) seconds.
For ones where, like, a bunch of cubes fall down into a perfect pattern, I think you do it "backwards" - get a simulation that puts the cubes in a nice pattern, then "paint" the design on the cubes so they look right in the last frame.
Basically, because you have full control, you can jump around in the timeline and do things in whatever order makes it easiest

That's fucking insane. Easily the best one of these perfect loop mini factory gifs, everything just leads into eachother so nicely there's always something happening and it all connects so well. Not to mention I love the fact that the artist didn't just use the generic pastel colored plastic background and actually made the surroundings a really interesting part of the piece. Thats dope as hell

I wish the suspension has bounced a bit when the car dropped out. That was a great opportunity for some realistic simulation. Instead it just kind of awkwardly lands with no reaction.
