Not the ending I was expecting

Wait for it...
Edited to add:
The fact that it was caught on film is significant...
Personally I've always been reticent to accept the idea that self-driving cars are the future exactly for the reasons displayed in the video.
In any event, given that this was caught on camera and will likely go viral, I believe it would be beneficial for lawmakers to introduce some sort of legislation requiring automobile manufacturers to install an "emergency engine off" button in cars equipped with a self-driving feature.

Not to imply that I'm advocating for stricter business regulations; this is simply a public safety issue.

Carrie Underwood made a song about this
Seriously, though, wtf was that driver thinking not doing anything to stop the vehicle?

Well that'll ruin your day

That car is perfect for the I-10 basin bridge.
Posted on 8/14/25 at 8:54 am to boxcarbarney
Maybe he should turn self-driving off
Posted on 8/14/25 at 8:56 am to boxcarbarney
And the dude "driving" doesn't appear to be trying to do a fricking thing about it.

Putting a Mustang emblem on an EV is Blasphemy!

That title.
Why would Ford get sued because this dumb arse is screwing around in his car?

You can't fix shite Spicoli !

He might want to try literally anything to stop the car. I find it hard to believe that the gas, brake, shifter, and full electronics suite were all unresponsive while it was in self driving mode.
That being said, the Mach E is the worst rental car I've ever had. The GPS crashed before I ever got it out of the rental lot and I had to reboot the car so maybe he really was fricked. Who knows.

A lot more info is needed. Did he try the e brake?

One the first comments mentions it as all electric vehicle that has computer that locks steering and brakes.
Posted on 8/14/25 at 9:23 am to boxcarbarney
Plot twist: he called the vehicle a “wireback.”
