Black swan event: Best 'Top Gear' episode EVAH.

It is reassuring to know that Volvo autonomous vehicles can identify and avoid elk. Møøse bites Kan be pretti nasti.

The "baffling part" was when

the kangaroos reappeared from behind a hill and launched a barrage of stinger missiles* at the hapless helicopter self-driving vehicle. (Apparently the programmers had forgotten the remove “that” part of the infantry coding).
