True about Darwin but Li battery fires don’t burn gradually. It might take awhile to breach the case and ignite but, once ignited, they’ll burn with a vengeance. I suspect the duration and periodic re-ignition in this case was due to the water they used to extinguish the fire. The water exacerbated the problem.
TSLA crash - looking at the NYT picture showed it was a head on crash with tree that was burnt badly. The car must have rebounded back towards a tree that wasn't damaged and I got confused by the side view that showed undamaged tree by the side. Still, a car with a powerful computer should be able to avoid the "prime objective" of don't crash even though driver was missing. The much touted neural net and DOJO should be able to figure this out is the programming is working, IMO. Avoiding artificial stupidity should be a prime objective.
