This is a video from Beijing of a little humanoid robot practicing for the upcoming World Humanoid Robot Games (aka robot Olympics, starting August 22nd) when it crashes hard into a padded wall, falls, doubles over backwards, and shoots sparks from the abdomen. And not in a sexy way like
This is a video of Durham, North Carolina’s infamous Norfolk Southern–Gregson Street Overpass (aka Can Opener Bridge, previous wrecks HERE) claiming its latest victim, an overheight towable RV.

This is a video of former NASA engineer Mark Rober pitting a Tesla’s camera-based autopilot feature against a Lexus’s LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging, which uses lasers to measure distances and create 3D maps) to see which operates safer. The Lexus passes all six tests (stationary child in road, running
This is a video from Layton, Utah of a Jeep getting rear-ended onto train tracks with a train approaching. The driver then starts to reverse off the tracks before running into the train crossing arm and deciding it isn’t worth breaking, then exits the vehicle before impact. Now maybe I

This is some recent footage of a recycling truck attempting to do battle with the 11’8″+8″ (technically the 12’4″) ‘Can Opener’ bridge in Durham, North Carolina. I like how the driver thought that there was no question his truck would easily pass under. Like, didn’t even bother slowing down. That’s
Clearly pissed that competitor Dawsom Cram caused him to crash, NASCAR driver Joey Gase ripped his rear bumper cover off his vehicle after the accident and threw it at Cram’s car as he passed, breaking his windshield. Damn! If NASCAR had a lot more of this, I’d watch a lot
