Quoting a Times report: 47-year-old Eleanor Barnfield was stabbed at a retirement village in Bridgend, South Wales, and told the ambulance wait would be long. She drove herself to hospital, collapsed at the wheel after 300 yards, and died. The retweet uses the tragedy to argue darkly that the UK should accelerate autonomous car deployment so victims don't have to drive themselves.
