Bulgaria fog pile-up kills 12, sparking case for autonomous driving
Dr_Singularity · x · 2026-11-11
A fog-related pile-up on Bulgaria's Trakia Motorway involving 50+ vehicles killed at least 12 and injured dozens—one of the country's deadliest road disasters. DrSingularity argues poor visibility is exactly where human driving fails: AVs with advanced sensors could detect other cars and auto-adjust speed. As FSD matures and human driving is eventually banned, such accidents could drop to near zero, saving millions of lives.
