Three kids barely out of high school (class of '23) killed themselves in a Cybertruck in the wealthy enclave of Piedmont, CA last night.
God knows why this stupid car caught fire, but you should not lot anyone you know drive one.

Here's the intersection, King and Hampdon (I've biked here dozens of times for the record).
There is *no way* you should be able to get in a triple fatality solo vehicle crash here.
For once I do not think the traffic engineers are to blame. If you're dying here, it's the car's fault.

I have no doubt the driver was conducting the vehicle irresponsibly. And no parent should let a teen driver operate such a vehicle.
*But* there just isn't any way a car should catch on fire at anything like the speeds they would have been going in this neighborhood.

If you look at the pictures of the wreck, the driver was definitely speeding, but that is definitively *not* a car that was going 50+ mph.
Catching fire in a sub 40 mph crash is insane. Like, class action lawsuit insane.
