A truck driver has lost control of his vehicle in Bavaria. The truck drove driverlessly in a serpentine way through a construction site, against crash barriers and over warning barges. The police tried to draw the driver’s attention with flashing lights.
Without checking his tractor-trailer and in critical health, a truck driver left a more than 30-kilometer-long path of destruction on Autobahn 3. The 48-year-old had lost control of the truck late on Saturday evening “apparently due to a medical cause,” the police said.
During the entire journey through Lower Franconia, the vehicle collided with the guardrail several times and ran over numerous warning beacons in the area of a construction site. Road barriers were damaged in such a way that they partially protruded into the opposite lane. Police drive behind with sirens and flashing lights
The police were informed about a serpentine truck around 10:20 p.m. in the evening. A patrol was able to make out the truck in the area of the Würzburg-Kist junction and tried to draw the driver’s attention with flashing lights, a siren and a stop signal – but he did not react. The truck continued to drive from left to right across the width of the street in that direction. Several traffic signs were run over by the truck.

Vaccinated 48 year old, no doubt.
The question on everyone’s mind: Was he recently vaxxed?
May have been a diabetic coma or heart issue.
I was gonna say it’s a little late in the year for more Oktoberfests.
Tesla Truck malfunction?
Yeah, possibly, perhaps even likely.
But, then we have to dig to the root cause: recently jabbed.
“My boss said the truck drives like a Vespa. I thought he said Tesla.”
Maybe that’s what the Biden’s transportation secretary Buttplug is waiting for. Just load up the trucks and let them drive their selves to their destination.
Ya beat me to it.
Let’s go, Brandenburg!
Guardrails keep us in play. In my area they keep tumbleweeds in play too.
Given the way they drive around here anyway, it might be an improvement.
Maybe this is the start of the vehicle bot rebellion and uprising?!! We’ll know if every self driving vehicle goes bizark over the next cuople of days.
I have not driven semi, so the question is academic:
Who the hell put cruise control in a heavy hauler which doesn’t occasionally prompt the driver to confirm/reengage, automatically disengaging without said input?
auto translated pages are fun to read.
Maximum Overdrive.
Maybe autonomous driving mode could be useful...having a heart attack? Dizzy stroke?..push autonomous button for use only in emergency, roll to a safe stop and call 911.
Driverlessly??? Huh???
I guess the driver was there,...he just wasn’t involving himself in mobility interactions.
