Only second-best, because hitting a fire hydrant that immediately put out the fire would be truly best case. And the steam!

I guess movies aren’t entirely wrong, then. It always bugged me when an actor reacted too slowly in a scene, I’d think, ‘they could’ve easily done that faster. And how that’s not how people react irl’

The best part about this video is the motorbike riders in black jacket vs the one in the red shirt. I call them Fonzie and Cha Chi...
One calmly watches the danger slowly approaching and just backs out of the way...
The other panics, jumps off the bike and feeds it to the burning car like a sacrifice...

When I read "driverless car" I assume we're talking about a Waymo, Tesla or one of these ilk. After watching this video I'm assuming someone was driving, their car caught on fire, they abandoned the car and it rolled down the road.
A better title might be: "Burning abandoned car rolls down the road." Which is less dystopian and still pretty fun to watch.

u/TwelveFrolickingCows 8h ago
Yea exactly. Reading the actual article, it seems like someone was driving the car, noticed smoke, checked under the hood and found a bigger fire, then fled. Then the handbrake failed and it rolled downhill. It’s “driverless” in that no one is currently driving it, not driverless as in automated.

It's not self driving, it's driverless i.e. no handbrake.

Probably going downhill. Fire burns through hydraulic hoses and brakes fail. Firefighters are trained to approach from the sides of the car for exactly this reason.

It looks like it's starting to roll downhill from a stop. Probably brakes failed or weren't properly applied.
