See!...SEEE!!! This is what you get when you mix snow tires on the rear, and all season tires on the front.
Tire Rack was right. You do need four snow tires to be safe.

Must have been a Chevy 12-bolt differential.

This made me laugh.
I think we have all seen the busted C-Clip hard launch turn...Which probably sucks to have happen.
Heck, I watched a very nice 401 powered Gremlin make the busted axle turn so hard it literally went right over the fense at about the 80 foot mark.
Launch, turn hard left, mash the guardrail so hard it just climbed right over, flip to the roof, skid and rotate to a stop on the roof about 40 feet later, finishing between the grandstands and the guardrail at about the 100 foot mark.

I will admit I am not a fan of the self driving cars...for a number of reasons.
But, the tech is here and it will be developed regardless of my desires for such things.

The teething problems of new tech, or advancing tech, can be funny and startling.

You should see some of the early trials of the Phalanx CIWS weapon systems...Talk about scary!

I guess if you aren't going to allow fans to attend you might as well get rid of the drivers too. Have they figured out who will sign autographs?

Here's another video of it.
