The BMW drive was probably being an ass because the stupid Tesla was camping the lane. I hate it when people do that.

“I think we’d all like to think that if we were driving we would have simply moved over...or not been in that lane” - if you don’t know that you wouldve, or simply slowed down when the BMW came over, then you shouldnt be driving

This is actually a setting the driver can enable/disable depending on how much of an asshole they are.  Autopilot does have a setting to automatically move out of the passing lane.

I think it’s fair to say the Tesla avoided the collision, but an average human driver, making average human decisions would have likely avoided the collision as well and in a safer manner (by something as simple as lifting off the gas for a moment).

Holy shit, that was comical. Swerving wildly onto the shoulder *that* long after the BMW made the close pass is the vehicular equivalent to one of those old-school doctor’s techniques where they bonk you on the knee with the little hammer to make you leg kick, but instead, there’s a long delay before some other random…

The Tesla camping in the left lane immediately removes all credibility they had.

The parachute did a huge amount of the work. But the driver did the remainder, and that still counts for a lot.

When a drag racer gets that far out of shape, popping the chute is the only option. It will straighten them out almost immediately. 

I’m not entirely convinced the driver had much involvement in keeping that rig shiny side up, I think he was along for a very lucky ride, which could have ended poorly.

The word you’re looking for is “Liberated”. 

I am failing to see the problem. ;-)

Came here for this

How has nobody suggested Canyonero yet?

Agreed, but they already have a patriot:

The Jeep Fe₂O_3.

We didn’t conquer the french’s native land. It’s not equivocal

Jeep Grand Grocery Getter.

Agreed. Laredo and Grand Laredo. It’s a name that’s already familiar with Jeep buyers.

The Jeep Trail of Tears.

I vote a name that already has a proud Jeep history: Laredo.
