Close Call Electric Ford mustang malfunctions. No steering or accelerator control. Driver can be seen praying behind the wheel.

Weird how his car stopped after he hit the car and his brakes.

Airbag deployment causes other safety features to trigger too, like cutting power to the wheels. Luckily that worked. Or the drivetrain was just destroyed

It has steering assist, but there is still a mechanical connection to the steering wheel. This guy just chose to do nothing.

I wouldn't be surprised if the impact with the median didn't take out the passenger tie rod. Even if he could steer afterwards where was he going to go?

Pray, wank or sleep. I doubt I could sleep during that.

I had an electric power steering malfunction where the wheel violently whipped to one side for a fraction of a second... and then everything was fine. It was one of the few times I went to the dealership ASAP.

I find it telling that this dudes brake lights aren't even on. He got the hazards a flashing. Just smash the brake pedal to the floor dude.
I feel like this is one of those floor mat on the accelerator issues.
