> According to the NTSB, a witness had come across the stopped CR-V prior to the collision and noted that neither its taillights or hazard lights were illuminated, She was able to change lanes and avoid hitting the Honda, but after she passed it, she saw the Mach-E strike the stopped crossover in her rearview mirror.
This scenario sounds like what I refer to as a "peek-a-boo rear ending". You see it exaggerated in movies with high speed chase scenes, but its real world equivalent is a very common road going scenario and almost certainly leads to a collision if at 45+ mph and the rear car driver isn't maintaining situational awareness of traffic flow several cars ahead...a scenario that aggressive tailgaters simply don't take into account in their public behavioral risk calculus, and clearly BlueCruise isn't capable of handling either.
