The future of ghost-riding?
I'd love a car that could self drive, then you could sleep on your way to anywhere.
And if they can fit it with a decent traffic accident/traffic problem system and let people bypass then we wouldn't be sitting around doing anything in traffic as often.
There's still going to be shit falling into roadways, animals running out, car tires exploding, etc....but just taking the general stupidity and assholery off the road would be a nice change of pace.
Truck crash tire explosion.
I have actually seen tires explode just like that, always on semis.
I'm sure he went off the other side of the road, but he literally did disappear in a puff of smoke...

Actually, nowhere to stop. He'd be an accident waiting to happen.
Lightning Strikes Truck
Did a quick search for info.....might be better links but I was curious about the tires so I searched for tires as well in the search terms to see what came up.
Basically it sounds a lot like the TV shows discussing the way lightning interacts with the human body, which is to say it is almost impossible to predict what will happen. You may not suffer any lasting damage from it, or you may be burnt externally or damaged internally....
Cars can have no damage to being totally destroyed because the lightning super heats the moisture in the vehicle causing damage. Plastics melt, tires explode if it travels through them. One of the websites has pictures that look like chemical interaction on the metals but they say they are lightning strikes, so makes you wonder if it happens and no one notices sometimes.
They both say that you are safer in your vehicle as long as you keep your hands off metal objects to minimize risk of it jumping into your body even with the possibility of the vehicle suffering one of the freak damage incidents.

As a side note, I didn't search too hard for it but there was a TV show once interviewing at least one person struck by lightning and investigating it's affects on others or the possibilities of what could happen. There was a guy on there who was struck but the lightning traveled along his skin where rain/sweat was collected and burnt him in the pattern in traveled and they showed some of the damage he suffered from it...noting that external while bad isn't as life threatening as when it goes through your body instead of along it.
Honda Burnout Fail
I was thinking I might wind up commenting "but making the tire explode is what burnouts are about, how is this a fail"?
I was wrong.
