I was one of the foolish ones who hoped it wouldn't happen.

They peaked. It's all downhill from here.

Thanks for trying, but also behind my own timeline.

I joined when Apollo went silent. Coincidentally, I'm wearing my Clipollo t-shirt as I type this.

I'm not that color, otherwise... yeah.

That's the issue here. It's so automated that if even the slightest thing goes wrong, the vehicle goes into a mode that makes it difficult to continue, though not impossible. I wouldn't have chosen to get towed in this instance, since it still drives, but had they been on a highway, it would have been dangerous/illegal to continue at 15 mph. It feels like this was a design decision made without considering the consequences.

I've seen what happens when a hood opens at highway speed. No one was hurt, but that driver probably filled their pants, if you know what I mean.

Wait, you need to be towed if the "frunk" doesn't close all the way???

I hadn't thought of the artistic license angle.

Lincoln was a pretty good wrestler when he was younger. Booth would have had his hands full if Lincoln had grabbed him.
