    No one is saying it’s actually happened. It is a fact though that they are shutting down while driving which introduces a higher risk of it happening which the insurance companies don’t want to take.

      That’s my point. Unless it’s actually happened, you’re completely blowing things out of proportion, and most likely does not explain this situation.

      This isnt the first vehicle to ever break down on the highway…

        I can steer to the shoulder of the road in a traditional vehicle hit the brakes. Can I do that in a cyber truck?
