I'm more interested in the vehicle technology. seems like they have some kind of computerised control system and crash detection. And only one fatality in three years? How would such a crash occur without either a critical faliure of the system or some sort of sabotage by persons unknown? As a side note, this article backs up spec that they are more technologically advanced than us as this sort of control system is still highly experimental on our world.

So they must have cars that drive autonomously everywhere. How cool is that? Smile

I mean I know we have developed prototypes, but to have the technology as the norm is relatively advanced.

Maybe someone maliciously hacked into or disabled part of the car's computer system, causing the collision...

I think it's funny that they specify accidental fatality. Apparently hit-and-runs don't count.

What the?!? I clickedon ZZedar's link and went to an apparent mirror of www.perplexcitysentinel.com. When did http://www.pxcsentinel.com/ show up? Is it an official in-game site, or is it merely "mirrored for our convenience"? If it is official IG, is anyone watching to make sure they stay identical? How did I miss this? It's because I'm not on IRC enough, isn't it? I'll do better... I promise!

The pxcsentinel site showed up at the same time as the perplexcitysentinel.com site. As far as I can tell they're identical, I just used pxcsentinel because it's shorter to type.

Anyone else think Djinn Jr. may be the reason why this accident occurred? It could also be that Djinn was the reason why the security went down the night of the theft. I am speccing that Recon 8 are the programmers behind it.
