How does shutting off all power on a 6 lane highway help with this? Surely hitting the pedals shows that she was awake? Now there are questionable thing about this whole thing, but the actions the car was described as taking is a bit shitty. I'm glad that average people are starting to talk about some of the mandatory "safety" features that governments are requiring and being present and always enabled. Based upon how white and racist a lot of tech has been, I'm just waiting for the Ford that can't distinguish an epicanthic fold.
