Narrative
The car veered suddenly to the left (out of the left lane of a highway) while supervised in auto steer. The driver could not move the steering wheel to avoid a collision with the guardrail as the steering wheel had locked up. The collision warning didnât sound and emergency brakes did not activate upon impact. The airbags were deployed and the car was totaled.
