Today I learned

TIL The only recorded collision between a car and a submarine happened in Sweden in 1961, when a driverless Volvo rolled downhill into a docked submarine.

@todayilearned huh, interesting!

I saw a collision between a car and a rowboat once. It fell off the roof rack of the car I was following, and its inertia carried it sideways into the oncoming traffic on the other side of the road, where a car hit it... Nobody injured, it was a little local road and a small fibreglass boat!

@todayilearned @ianbetteridge Can you imagine being the person who received that incident report?

@todayilearned

fully self driving car training data needs to be updated again, i guess. ;)

@todayilearned @paul_ipv6 I assume the sub was totaled and sunk.
Show threadReallyCanadianFlyMar 14
@petrillic @todayilearned @paul_ipv6 no but it was deemed the sub's fault because it wasn't wearing reflective material.

And just yesterday I saw a red PV544 in Bodega Bay, CA. Looked in good condition, clearly appropriate use of handbrake

Unstoppable fatal attraction.

@todayilearned one of the few vehicles to survive a collision with a Volvo! @DreadShips any other car-ship collisions on record?

@todayilearned
