Handing out driving licences like they were sweets instead of actually testing people's ability to drive, maybe?
This is often the issue. Not in this case though. He had his license for 24 years, while driving from the south of Germany to the Netherlands back and forth twice a month. He never had an accident before.
I stand corrected!
It can't possibly be that. We have to abolish trees - that's the real answer!
We’re working on it.
I think the tree didn't give way when it should have and damaged it a bit, hard to tell though
Probably turned off traction control and floored it. EVs have some pretty solid acceleration and weight a bit more than their ICE counterparts.
Nope, he drove 80km/h with traction control, but lost consciousness somehow. No lines on the road (out in the German countryside) so no line assist. Car went straight when there was a very mild turn, so he drove off the road, into some uphill ridge whi h launched him, woke up when flying through the air after which he landed in a bunch of trees.
This is where he landed. He luckily only had 4 broken ribs.
Daaaamn crazy story. Scary you can just tap out like that. Good on him he didn't get injured too much
Jeez, he's lucky to be alive at all.
That sucks I hope he's good.
Lost consciousness for a bit. Unknown why.
Not really the fault of the EV then tho :D
No, but it's still a factor why they may not last forever XD never underestimate human error.
My car wouldn't have done that. Had I fallen unconscious it would either follow the road or stop
But that's also not because it's electric.
There were no stripes on the road so the line assist didn't work. He was unconscious for just a sec, he remembered seeing the slight turn, then to wake up while flying into the trees.
What was the issue? Do you know?

Probably the electromagnetic fields of EV! EMF is very bad with those! ^/s^
