Looks like AGI has been achieved… and the first thing it tries to do is self destruct.

Or maybe it was just learning to fly

The video of the crash is quite scary. In Texas these flyovers tend to be very tall. I think the Cybertruck didn't jump over the retaining wall only because of the light pole in its way.

You can see the lane sort of end, then cones, and then a choice that a human would make easily but that can easily confuse a computer as to "what to do next" -- and the computer chose to pretty much just drive straight. Definitely scary. I have a fear of being launched off these flyovers.... and really tall bridges. I have nightmares that I'm going to be on a bridge that gets steeper and steeper and I have no way to stop or turn around and there is a huge line up of cars behind me.... eventually the bridge gets so steep that I kind of fall backwards off the bridge. It's a recurring nightmare, no idea why :(

Damn that's some nightmare! I hope you don't live in Texas.

I do. Austin, TX. The bridge that terrified me the most was a bridge I crossed going to Lake Charles in Louisiana. The Rainbow bridge.... that thing is terrifying. Image: https://scontent-dfw5-2.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.30808-6/482808310...

I hate it when that happens :)
