Two dead in Tesla crash in Texas that was believed to be driverless

https://www.click2houston.com/news/local/2021/04/18/2-men-dead-after-fiery-tesla-crash-in-spring-officials-say/

Autopilot mode in almost any vehicle can be a nice feature, but obviously there can still be some danger.

The death of Paul_Walker in a 2013 car crash also ended up in a big fire.

Would the crash have still happened if it was an A.I. vehicle?

The main reason of having a high performance car is to be able to drive it yourself.

As the autopilot feature eventually becomes more common in various high performance_cars, a lot of people will still like to be in control.

The Buford Pusser car crash in 1974

"Buford Pusser was a high-school football and basketball player and was 6 feet 6 inches (1.98 m) tall. He joined the United States Marine Corps when he graduated from high school. His service ended during his United States Marine Corps Recruit Training, when he was given a medical discharge for asthma." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buford_Pusser

He was just a naturally BIG and intimidating guy that wanted to stand against crime and bad people.

https://www.youtube.com/user/BufordPusserMuseum/videos

"Pusser died on August 21, 1974, of injuries sustained in a one-car automobile accident..." "Earlier that day, he contracted with Bing Crosby Productions in Memphis to portray himself in the sequel to Walking Tall. That evening, returning home alone from the McNairy County Fair in his specially modified Corvette, Pusser struck an embankment at high speed that ejected him from the vehicle. The car caught fire and burned." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buford_Pusser#Death

https://www.roadsideamerica.com/story/35769

Some people think that it was more than simply a car crash.

There could be plenty of competition.

Its not quite at the Blade Runner spinner car level of tech, but a lot of people are still going to want this.

AirCar, a dual-mode car-aircraft vehicle moved closer to production this week, fulfilling a key development milestone in a 35-minute flight from the international airport in Nitra to the international airport in Bratislava on June 28th, 2021 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a2tDOYkFCYo 

If Tesla doesn't create their own version, perhaps they will just buy a flying car company. https://www.thesun.co.uk/motors/6342778/tesla-boss-elon-musks-gruesome-prediction-claims-flying-cars-could-cut-off-your-head However, there would have to be extreme safety measures in place.

"Legendary writer Jules Verne wrote about vehicles that could serve as a car, boat, and aircraft all in one.

"Flying cars or air taxis and their business opportunities have recently become a hot topic. In this video, we are going to talk about the new air taxis (flying cars) which were unveiled (from 2019 to 2020). These best personal aircraft include SkyDrive SD-03, Bell Nexus 4EX, CityAirbus, Lift Hexa, Boeing PAV, Seraph, and Heaviside." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H4jAJFp-tmw , https://www.youtube.com/c/Terkrecoms1/videos

Of course its imperative to have full control of the vehicle whenever necessary. Otherwise, someone could hack it and turn it into a Remote Controlled drone or toy. Their fun could become your crash!

When you are the owner of Tesla, you can pretty much design and build various types of vehicles as you need them.

An out-of-control car flies through multiple traffic lanes

 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fzIS34orIZY Even to try to do something like this for a car chase scene in a movie would require incredible coordination and timing. Yet, this just naturally happened.

A Speeding woman on cocaine kills a drunk driver high on meth in North Las Vegas

 https://ktla.com/news/nexstar-media-wire/speeding-woman-on-cocaine-kills-drunk-driver-high-on-meth-in-north-las-vegas-police-say-2 Driving under the influence of any mind altering substance always has the potential for dangerous consequences. A car+crash just being one of them.

Big Brother Tech may put an end to speeding in New York

 https://www.8newsnow.com/news/national-news/big-brother-may-put-an-end-to-speeding-in-new-york

Of course the big selling point is that it can reduce the chance of a car+crash by focusing on speeders.

While this tech is great in tracking and identifying speeders, it can also be used for several other purposes.

The Dead Zone

The_Dead_Zone is a wild psychic adventure for a guy that survives a car+crash.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Dead_Zone_(film)#Plot

Metaphysical implications about being able to change various potential outcomes.

If a psychic can occasionally see or sense things before they have happened, is that indicative that this world might be part of some kind of an interactive recording of time and space? Perhaps something like a cosmic VR program.

Seconds (1966 film) and another Paul McCartney?

Seconds is quite a wild Sci-Fi movie and was released in the autumn of 1966.

https://www.criterion.com/films/28428-seconds

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seconds_(1966_film)#Plot

It's as if someone wanted to take some aspects of the story and start a Paul_is_dead rumor.

"According to Tony Barrow, who wrote about it in his book "John, Paul, George, Ringo and me," the rumours about McCartney's death started circulating in September 1966.[1] At the time, Barrow was the press officer for the Beatles and was responsible for fielding calls from fans and the media. He began receiving a number of dubious calls from people asking about whether Paul was alright, but he denied those claims due to the fact he claimed to have called Paul. In early 1967, a similar rumour circulated in London that Paul McCartney had been killed in a traffic accident while driving along the M1 motorway on 7 January.[2] The rumour was acknowledged and rebutted in the February issue of The Beatles Book.[2] McCartney then alluded to the rumour during a press conference held around the release of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band in May." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_is_dead#Beginnings

Somewhere in-between the fall of 1966 and early 1967 was when the Paul rumor started to take shape.


The Rumor

"Nobody knows where or when the rumor began.

The earliest printed record of a Paul-is-dead story appears in the February 1967 issue of Beatles Book Monthly, the magazine of the official Beatles Fan Club.

It contains a one-paragraph article entitled “False Rumour.”

“The seventh of January was very icy, with dangerous conditions on the M1 motorway linking London with the midlands, and towards the end of the day, a rumor swept London that Paul McCartney had been killed in a car crash on the M1. But of course, there was absolutely no truth in it at all, as the Beatles’ press officer found out when he telephoned Paul’s St. Johns Wood home, and was answered by Paul himself ... ”

Speculation that Paul had been killed circulated around London during much of 1967.

McCartney himself alluded to the rumor during a Beatles press conference held in May of that year.

And a subsequent article in the New York Times recounts an incident at a London party in fall of ‘67, at which the Paul-is-dead rumor was joked about in the presence of the reporter.

At this point the trail of documentation goes completely cold.

Then, two years later, the rumor surfaced again..." http://ludix.com/moriarty/paul.html

Traffic moving again after truck carrying liquid oxygen explodes on I-5 in Seattle

 https://www.kiro7.com/news/local/truck-carrying-chemical-tanks-burning-interstate-5/4VOY3ENAURA7FMS6VCV6NZJEPY/

Had the incident happened in a covered section of the I-5 in Seattle, things could have gotten very bad. 

https://www.king5.com/article/traffic/i-5-1-lane-mercer-truck-fire/281-598deb5e-a57b-4af2-bcab-358fece9082d

Of course any high volume traffic corridor has a potential for a big crash or a disaster.

https://mynorthwest.com/3578661/truck-carrying-liquid-oxygen-catches-fire-closes-sb-and-nb-i-5-at-mercer/

If anything like this should happen in a tunnel, it could become like a blast furnace. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freeway_Park

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seattle_Convention_Center#Design Given as to how expensive land is, building & covering over sections of freeways has become more necessary over the years. Sometimes it's not just for new buildings, but adding new parkspace as well.  

There was the 1982 Caldecott_Tunnel fire in Oakland,_California

"The fire occurred shortly after midnight when there were few cars in the tunnel; had it occurred during normal commute hours, hundreds could have died. As a result of the fire, it is now illegal to transport hazardous material in a tanker truck through the tunnel, except between the light-traffic hours of 3:00 am and 5:00 am." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caldecott_Tunnel#Tunnel_fire

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caldecott_Tunnel_fire#Extent_of_damage The Caldecott has become an 8 lane tunnel system in the years after the fire.

The Vista_Ridge_Tunnels in Portland have a total of 6 lanes.

A.I. and robotics can be quite a beneficial and integral tool for humanity. However, if humanity should ever totally be taken over by AI, then expect the most inhuman results.
