I know everyone says "I'm a good driver" but I'm religious about following distance when driving, rage filled commuters behind me be damned. I get really anxious as a passenger now for that reason.

But I swear, around where I am the left lane is reserved for cars packed like a tuna can traveling 80+ mph.

While yeah the drivers are in the wrong, throwing a malfunctioning tesla in there is going to hurt a lot of people that wouldn't have been hurt if it didn't do that.

Are they really in the wrong if everyone agrees it's something reasonable to be doing? We're not too far from some philosophical questions.
