I realize we only have one side of the story here but it seems far more likely that the car was the one that collided with the cow rather than the other way around.

Just one more thing that Autopilot didn’t consider.

Pretty sure the Cow was in Self Driving Mode, so that may be a factor.

I mean come on, who hasn’t daydreamed of doing that to a Tesla? The cow just had the chutzpah to do it.

Good point, but didn’t Einstein’s theory of relatively state that all frames of reference are equally valid? Maybe I’m remembering that a bit too loosely.

You could always try telling your insurance company “an oak tree collided with my car!” but I kind of doubt they’d see it that way.

Too bad it wasn’t the Cow King; the Tesla could at least have gotten a battery charge out of it.

I would assume not, since it said “cow” and not “BBQ”

The Aristocrats!

I caught up with an EMT friend a few years ago, and asked about anything exciting recently (Spoiler blur as its kinda gross) and he mention some poor old lady who hit a horse with her car. She was ok, but the horse was everywhere in the car. :frowning:

The skid marks are supposed to be on the road, not on the hood.

It’s nice to see the important thing put right there in the title: “Cow OK”.

Uninsured and unregistered cows should not be free to roam our streets. /s
