Oh, cool, so that’s what’s supposed to happen in a collision? I’ll totally buy one.

    Dude’s BAC was reported as 0.26 in a toxicology report. Autopilot makes mistakes, but you’re supposed to be sober enough to correct them.

    As for the car bursting into flames when it was allegedly only going 41 mph, that is surprising.

      2.6‰ for us Europeans btw, America uses %

      0.26‰ would only be slightly drunk with minor impairments, with that BAC you should be able to correct most “autopilot” mistakes

        That’s not how it works. .26 BAC is .26 g/100mL so it’s the exact same in Europe. A BAC of 2.6 is not possible as you’d die before ever getting to 1 . Also ‰ is literally just for one thousandths percentages.

            .26 is very high in American units when .08 is legal limit in a lot of places! So whatever the higher option is, most likely for non American units.

          I’m pretty sure they’re correct. 0.26 per cent is 2.6 per mille (thousand).

              Sure, but there’s no % there, it just say BAC.

              When there’s no % or ‰ anywhere, people assume its in the unit that is most commonly associated with BAC readings in their country. Which in the EU, is ‰

              Your local news would say a BAC of 0.26, their local news would say a BAC of 2.6

              Awesome. They specifically mentioned what it would be in European units for their understanding. They weren’t talking to you directly.
