#3The NTSB wants to make forward collision avoidance systems in cars standard. I wonder if it would be possible to spoof radar and/or IR return signals so as to trip the autonomous braking in a car that gets too close to a bike?

I hope the smirking picture was an old one though (not from after he ran a bicyclist over).
Also, I wonder what the chances are that he waited till he sobered up to turn himself in.

I want to think it is courage but I suspect it could be a phone call to friend or family from a police investigator or the description of a car on a public news or social channel, or seeing a neighbor notice the dent in the car. At that point he might have realized his only 2 options: get arrested or turn himself in.

Try thinking more than one step at a time.
What will be the very next thing that happens if you actually succeed in doing this?
