@yamik said no you can’t
@mandila kai no u
This is one reason that autonomous trucks are coming soon so no one would die in the process…
@I’m Ryte Beehyne U… 🤔 I have a Ferrari now… who knew?! I wouldn’t buy one of those either 😂 An old muscle car maybe but not a ridiculously expense sports car. A big diesel truck yes. I could buy both for the price of a Tesla lol
@M Hall
There is a statistic on that. It goes like this:
*The insurance site Auto Insurance EZ compiled sales and accident data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics and the National Transportation Safety Board. The site found that hybrid vehicles had the most fires per 100,000 sales at 3474.5.*
*There were 1529.9 fires per 100k for gas vehicles and just 25.1 fires per 100k sales for electric vehicles.*
Right because autonomous trucks will never have a tire failure.

@Paul L. Every knee will bow, and every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord. Philippians 2:10-11
Choose this day whom you will serve, but as for me and my family, we will serve the Lord Joshua 24:15

On Christmas eve, in boksburg in south africa, Over 60 people, excluding the driver. Died in a gasoline tanker explosion. curious children who were looking on, were running around, burning to death and no way to help them…. If you see a tanker and fire. STAY AWAY. My heart breaks for people going through tough times.
Dang now gas prices will spike $5.00 a gallon again because of their negligence. We need renewable energy!
I love how you support slave labor in Africa.
Heartache. Sorry for the family.
Thoughts and prayers for everyone impacted.
It seems that we have an emerging issue / inability regarding transportation of the resources that sustain our infrastructure….
It’s one disaster to the next (very tragic & haunting).
Look at this situation is absolutely crazy🤔
Our frederick and jefferson firefighters are superheros. They got that fire out quicker than I thought. In the distance I just saw huge mushroom of pitch black smoke. Then it just kept pouring massive amounts of smoke in the air.
We had it all and we are destroying everything we have accomplished as a species. It’s sad to watch us self destruct. We could change our path but our government has lost the will to govern for person gains.
