Tech bros love to boast about moving fast and breaking things, so it comes as some relief to find an instance where they've moved at a more stately 17 knots and yet still utterly fucked it.

In this case the "it" being carpool vehicles. Programmed to treat movement without the engine being switched on as either theft or witchcraft, they instantly bricked themselves in response.

What happened when these vehicles travelled by ferry was perhaps predictable...

@DreadShips The San Francisco Bay hasn't had car ferries in a very long time, so this is indeed witchcraft from a Silicon Valley perspective.

At least until a Bay Area startup invents a high-tech method of moving cars over water without expensive bridges or tunnels.

@DreadShips I'm waiting for Tesla to announce a self driving electric car ferry that only holds one car, rusts if it gets wet, and sinks if it loses cell service.
@ids1024 @DreadShips Oh, I guess you haven’t seen this https://www.cybercatamaran.com then. Not sure if real or trolling.
