Mach-E goes rogue on highway

[devmach-e]

Looks like the driver was arrested for suspicion of driving under the influence.

Additionally, they said this:
Through our investigation, we determined the vehicle was not operating in autonomous mode

This should be a great lesson to people wasting their time drawing conclusions about stupid shit they see on the internet.

People love to find any reason to blame ADAS tech and/or EVs for stuff like this when 99% of the time it’s just the fault of the person behind the wheel.

The driver of the green Mach E was arrested for driving under the influence. Autonomous driving was not used. See the CHP report (link below)

Not a lawyer but, yeah, I do believe in the constitution, took an oath to it and still standing firm on it.

That’s nice. This isn’t a trial nor a court case and we aren’t violating any constitutional rights.

Just pointing out the obvious that when the driver got arrested for a DUI after an accident with injuries it’s because they were drunk. Literally the first thing they get tested for and get arrested (or not) based on the results.

As far as what they get convicted for, that’s for the courts to decide. But as far as forums go, the constitution doesn’t apply. Just like freedom of speech doesn’t exist here.

This appears to target a limited number of 2021 MachE. I don't know if 50 units means 50 cars.


NHTSA ID Number: 24V777000

Manufacturer Ford Motor Company

Components SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC

Potential Number of Units Affected: 50

Summary

Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2021 Mach-E vehicles. An Over-The-Air (OTA) update to the Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) may result in a loss of power brake assist, ABS, Electronic Stability Control, Traction Control, and driver assistance features.

That car is a 2024 or 2025 model, as indicated by the green color. I don't know what happened in the video, but my guess would be they panicked and stood on the accelerator

They were drunk. Read the post above yours.

Well there you go

Just a small quibble… DUI doesn’t necessarily mean “drunk” or alcohol. This was California right? I’d expect something more hallucinogenic in nature.

 

[JoeBeach]

Yeah, well, that’s not how I read it. Then again, I’m in Florida right now, which automatically lowers my IQ by about 30-40 points while I’m here, so…

Oh, you will be fine when you get back to PA. Is it the heat or just the perception of you having a lower IQ in the presence of native Floridians?

Please don’t stand on the Constitution - the parchment is almost 250 years old and pretty delicate. I’d hate to see it damaged or ripped

If I had any more dad joke awards laying around, you'd be today's winner

This wisdom is applicable beyond this thread...

Speaking to the author of the news headline, do you mean "rouge" like the red cosmetic my mom puts on her face, or "rogue" like the elephant?

I fixed the headline now! Was wondering what you meant

Unsure WTF I just watched. Too bad ICE didn't get him before his "praying joy ride". I mean it is CA. If this is real the utter lack of concern for your fellow humans around you is alarming. I mean grab the fucking wheel or hit the brake already. Even if a tie rod is gone, the brakes still work!!! Flashers and no brake lights???? I hope this is AI and not some mental idiot, whose friends and family did not step in prior to him hurting someone else.
