    JESUS FUCK.

    People dying apparently, but not up close or anything. Not any less horrid.

    Basically, a Tesla S/X spacks out and just guns it, apparently unstoppably (unstoppably?).

      Fucking computers.

    • Wondered if they tried the handbrake?PhanLo
    • Apparently they have electric handbrakes, not physical ones. ie, I guess the motors are kept in check by the magnets.Nairn
    • Everything is electric these days.
