Another day, another Cybertruck being towed from somewhere nobody really ought to need a tow from. Take a look, Toyota Sienna to the rescue.

Cybertruck steering doesn't work like other vehicles, it's a steer by wire system, which is how the driver can go from lock to lock like that.

I don't know why you're getting so hung up on this.

Wheels (under human control) simply cannot steer that fast.

Something is wrong, and I think the vehicle is being steered by a squirrel brain.

You ever been out on a field doing donuts and tearing the grass up? Yeah, I have, I grew up on a junkyard, and I promise you that no human can steer the wheel back and forth that fast.

So I assume AI/Autopilot was at play here to steer like a spazzed out squirrel brain, while the goal was to simply go backwards.

Something seriously fucking wrong here...

Didn't read the article, did you?

Don't need to. There's tight steering, there's loose steering, and anything in between. And then there's an AI powered fucking retarded steering that doesn't comprehend how to go in reverse, in a singular simple reverse direction, but would rather twist its wheels left and right as fast as possible, to try to bury itself deeper in the sand..
