Testimony Reveals Doors Would Not Open on Cybertruck That Caught Fire in Piedmont, Killing Three
sfist.com
The Highway Patrol’s investigation into a November Cybertruck crash in Piedmont where three college kids died is finding two very Tesla problems: the vehicle immediately caught fire, and its doors would not open.

Summary

A Tesla Cybertruck crashed in Piedmont last November, killing three college students after hitting a cement wall and bursting into flames.

The California Highway Patrol (CHP) attributed the crash to intoxication and high speed but found that the victims likely died from the fire.

Testimony revealed the vehicle’s doors would not open after the crash, preventing rescue attempts. A survivor was pulled out after a bystander broke a window with a tree branch.

The CHP’s investigation into the crash remains ongoing.

    imagine if it used AI to decide if the driver was Jewish. Or queer. Or just a particular individual who might be thrown out a window were they in Russia. And it steered itself into a wall and burst into flames, destroying any internal telemetry that might tell the story.

    That’s basically how the plot of Upload kicks off, and when I realized “holy crap, that’s totally possible”.

      You’re the only other person I have ever heard mention that they had watched that show. I liked it. I thought it was decent, but nobody else seemed to.

        Oh, I think it’s great. Can’t wait till season 4 drops. Definitely an underrated show especially if you like near future, corporate dystopia black comedies. There’s also the meta humor that it runs on Amazon Prime Video.

          Oh, I thought it was canceled. The last season I saw was season two. I should check out season three!

            AFAIK, it’s not canceled. It just goes forever between 10-episode seasons that always end on a cliffhanger.

            Edit: Ah, the upcoming fourth season is the final one.

              Four seasons is a pretty good run for this type of show, IMO; at least if it’s as well planned and thought out as The Good Place (not to dissimilar concept) was!

              I think I’m also only around ~2 seasons in, as I cancelled Prime a while back… might have to fly the black flag and catch up on S03!

        Another good one with a related theme of technology morality is Made For Love, I think it’s from Max

          Yes, now Made for Love was great. Way better than Upload imo.

          Damn, I really forgot that show existed until just now…

        I enjoyed it as well! You are not alone, fellow Upload.

        I don’t even recall how I heard of it, lol, but it’s really good. Definitely one of those hidden gems in the sea of crap-quality streaming shows.

          If you can get over the weird color saturation thing, it wasnt good enough for me to have that bizarre super bright reds and pinks

      Very underrated film. I saw it in theaters and thought everyone was gonna go crazy for it then barely heard anyone talk about it.
