How many billions of ICE vehicles have been produced versus a few million EVs? The articles point is that all automotive transportation is a hazard and doesnt specifically go after internal combustion or EV. I post on average 2-3 out of control EV accidents a week that actually make the news. If there were 100x more EVs on the road there could easily be more than 500x more accidents because more vehicles on the road the greater the chance of getting into an accident. Then you have to factor in that as more EVs hit the roads, they are more apt to drive through magnetic fields emanating from the surface and thus could suffer glitching. These accidents are less likely to happen in ICE, particularly less computerized ICE vehicles. Autonomous tech will never be safe because the tech depends on computers that are prone to glitching due to EM radiation.
Basically when the rocks and soil becomes electrified it creates magnetic fields. Those fields go upward from the surface electrifying ALL conductive materials passing overhead. Picture a Tesla driving by passing through one of these fields which happen to be just the right frequency; yes to cause these abnormal events circumstances have to be just right otherwise this would happen severely everytime there is/has recently been increased geomagnetic activity. Most of the time the passing Tesla does not experience anything or may experience some minor abnormalities in its computers leading to errors usually easily fixed by a soft reset. That abnormal circumstance then causes induction event that leads to glitching in one or more of Teslas computers from its main computer down to its control units leading to sudden acceleration events and or veer events where the Tesla suddenly veers uncontrollably off the road into its favorite targets trees & powerpoles..sometimes buildings. Its a known phenomenon called Electromagnetic Interference and is believed by some researchers to cause SUA events in EVS (study below). In addition to this, these surface based EM fields cause the underbelly of the Teslas to electrically conduct leading to enhanced rusting and i believe Teslas Whompy Wheel phenomenon caused by the Hutchison Effect. Hutchison Effect is not well understood in public realms but it can cause metals to experience various failures from fracturing to breaking to softening and even turning to dust; think of this like process of turning to dust as rusting at an extremely accelerated pace. This is why Teslas only a few days old can experience Whompy Wheel issue like what the star of Dinsey's live action Aladdin movie experienced 3 days after receiving his Tesla. According to Reuters this has happened to tens of thousands of Teslas. The study about EMI causing SUA in EVs is posted below along with most of the material i have showcasing Hutchison Effect and Teslas.
