This is not just Tesla. We rented a Jeep Wagoner. I have turned off active lane management and it still pushes the steering wheel. The braking and acceleration also have a mind of their own.

I'm guessing they drove a stolen car. Why do you assume Yiheim Quishown Fryar and Aaron Taiwan Coppedge are immigrants?Air Force veteran killed during robbery in Goldsboro on Memorial Day weekend

Family fears home could collapse after county missed building code violations
A Chatham County family says their dream home was built so poorly, they've been told by structural engineers it would be better to tear it down and rebuild rather than repair it.
www.wral.com
Permitting and inspections are mere money grabs from the county. They don't care about how well your home is constructed and there are no repercussions for when they don't do qha you paid them for. All we can hope for is that they excerpt the same level of care for the new vinfast plant.

From what I’ve read on this board it’s more about the corruption of the inspectors than a money grab by the gov. How many times has it been said to know their favorite drink etc.

How bout let's setup a fund for vehicle repairs for anyone who takes them out and collect tag numbers for that? OR let's stop with tags, insurance, speed limits, directions of travel, running redlights, driving on sidewalks, inspections, etc. and quit wasting the general populations effort and dollars on these things and the bureaucracies that support them if they are not necessary

Solution for this is a series of water balloon launchers randomly scattered around and firing at random times. Adds a little excitement for everyone, no real bother to people in cars, even a little free washing ;-).
