When one designs, builds and markets a vehicle specifically for the demographic that has more money than common sense, it should not be a surprise when the consumers of said vehicle exhibit a lack of common sense.

Maybe both were drunk as hell and thought this was a great idea to get home...

I’ve seen a study that says trust in the technology is inversely related to your age. The older you are, the more likely you are to keep your hands on the wheel even if the car can practically drive itself. Younger people besides being immortal trust the tech to work perfectly.

I wonder what the passengers’ ages were.

3 things are no go’s with me:

1. Don’t marry a woman with more than 3 sisters. I already blew that one, my wife has 6 sisters.

2. No Tesla.

3. No Covid shots.

The first one is an annoyance, the last two are deadly.

Water doesn’t do much for a battery/metal fire.

Fire fighters used 32,000 gallons of water over four hours to try to put out the flames because the car's batteries kept reigniting.

Batteries kept igniting? That's what I want, a vehicle, if involved in a collision, explodes into flames and takes half a day to put the fires out. Good gawd!

That is a pretty impressive fire. They must’ve just filled up with gas just prior to the wreck.

If they were wearing masks, the deaths will be attributed to Covid.

This is culling the heard of stupid people. On guy in the passenger seat, one in the rear seat and no one in the drivers seat? And their thinking they’re perfectly safe as they haul azz down the road? And they both end up burning to death?

Amazing.

Why are they suddenly calling it “auto-pilot” when they have been calling it “self-driving”? Because they want to force us into “self-driving” and they don’t want to tarnish the name “self-driving”?

Not to get all SJW, but examples abound of technologies that don't perform accurately for people with darker skin. A study from Georgia Tech found that people of color were more likely to be hit by driverless cars because object detection systems they use to recognize pedestrians don't work as well on people with darker skin.

I don't want a "smart car" that mows down my fellow citizens because some woke affluent Big Media jackwad from MIT can't properly assemble a balanced dataset.

And people wonder why so many citizens don't trust the "jab".
