New self-driving BMW ad appears to promote having sex in moving vehicle

The 2021 BMW Vision iNEXT concept.Handout / BMW BMWs latest advertisement for its Vision iNext prototype a precursor, we’re told, to a near-future fully self-driving vehicle has for the first time shown off the SUV concept driving down the road with, apparently, nobody behind the wheel. Well, nobody sitting attentively in the drivers seat in an upright position, anyway.Yes, the German automakers finally gone ahead and made an actual commercial spot showing what appears to be people having sex in an autonomous vehicle.To get a little less vague, the video ad starts off with a couple getting close to each other, in what appears to be a bedroom.https://twitter.com/BMWi/status/1176149276931629056?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembedref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fd-15609724643529385794.ampproject.net%2F1909141409590%2Fframe.htmlRed and blue lights flash across their bodies, with the next sequence showing BMWs new flagship SUV driving down the street, and a police car with lights flashing driving past.The implication, here, is cruiser has no qualms with iNext zipping along with the couple inside was experiencing, uh, new moments of joy, in BMWs words.Were not sure if this is really the best tactic to drive home the point the Vision iNext offers a space where everything can be done with ease, and having a police officer drive by without noticing someone isnt behind the wheel certainly doesnt help the cause. On the other hand, sex sells, we guess.A few months ago there was a real account of people having sex in a Tesla while Autopilot was engaged. Elon Musk himself even Tweeted about it.While wed hoped Musk might have denounced the act, instead he thought it a good idea to make a joke about it. Funny, sure, but probably the dumbest thing he could have done. Considering autonomous vehicle technology is still very much in its teething stages, we probably shouldnt be jumping ahead to more adult autonomous content just

Bear falls onto moving cop car, causes crash and wildfire

“Caution Falling Bear!”California highway management was prompted to issue this rather strange warning last week after a bear tumbled from an embankment and onto the hood of a moving police car, causing it to flip and ignite a fire that burned about a half-acre of brush. According to reporting by ABC KRCR News, the Sheriffs deputy was responding with lights and sirens to a call about an overdose at 11 p.m. when the bear fell from an overhanging bank and onto the hood of the cruiser.The officer was able to escape the flipped vehicle but unable to put out the fire that eventually consumed the car and some surrounding vegetation. The bear fled the scene and hasnt been heard from since.“Travelers are reminded to stay alert while exploring the beautiful highways and nature of District 1,” the state highway department’s Facebook post reads. “Bears, elk and deer are just some of the critters sharing our coastal home.”Much of Canada is also home to wildlife that can and does spill out onto the roads. Be prepared for the worst with these tips for surviving collisions with large animals.

Woman jumps out of moving Uber car to escape harassment

A person holds a mobile phone with the Uber app showing on it.Ryan Remiorz / The Canadian Press A woman in Seattle, Washington said she jumped out of a moving car after her Uber driver harassed her. According to Seattle news station KCPQ, Sid Grogan reported the issue to Seattle police and to Uber. She also shared her story on Facebook to warn others, and later said she was contacted by two women who had experienced similar issues with the same driver. Grogan said she got into an Uber before midnight on May 26, and that the driver kept saying, “So where are we going to go, where are we going to go to talk, where should I take us?” Grogan said he kept repeating this, and each time she answered, “I’m going home, I’d like you to take me home.” She said the driver then pulled over and turned on his four-way flashers, and asked again where they could go. Grogan said she told him again that she wanted to go home, and that he locked the car and started driving. She then pried open the door lock, opened the door, and jumped out and ran away. Detective Patrick Michaud of the Seattle police department said that anyone who feels unsafe during a ride should get out as soon as it’s safe to do so, and if riding alone, should share their location and trip details with someone. Prior to Grogan’s experience, there had been several reported sexual assaults in the area, with victims attacked by legitimate ride-hailing drivers or by those pretending to be. Grogan said she believes Uber and Lyft should better interview their drivers, including speaking with them in person. She also said she has deleted her apps and hasn’t felt safe at home since the driver was given her home address as part of the
