| #11 Not directly relevant, but... curious about a Cruise flack's horrifying accent, I looked her up and found video of Willie Brown's first ride in a driverless car. Snickered straight through (and I'm the quiet, constipated-looking one during ritual recitation of Kamala BJ jokes). |

| #10 Now now now, we are about to learn a very important lesson here. |

| #9 I wonder what a flooded road looks like to LIDAR. Probably just a nice smooth area, free of obstacles. |

| #5 Idiot? He ignored the water, let the car drive into the water and will sue Tesla. |

| #4 not to mention the effect of salt water on Lithium batteries. Even though this may have been a freshwater pond, there still exists the potential of catastrophic fire. Can't wait for my insurance rates to go up to cover their ass on all the EVs. |

| #1 Will be interesting in about 6 months or so to see how many front wheel drive and/or electric cars develop issues after driving around in hub deep or better water during these floods. |
