Ever suffer a critical failure in an ICE car at highway speeds? I have, and it’s not fun. A mechanic didn’t replace the drain plug properly in my transmission, and it came loose at 50+ MPH. The transmission fluid drained out and the car suddenly started shaking violently and I couldn’t shift. I was lucky there was very little traffic and was able to pull over safely, but it was a heart stopping experience.
I would definitely not want to have the powertrain failing, etc. in a similar situation. Especially in a car that’s a few days old. The cybertruck has steer-by-wire in part because the rear wheels turn. Imagine if that was a system that failed at highway speeds.
