[A] 57-year-old woman Cathy Bernstein allegedly hit a truck before ploughing into a van on Prima Vista Boulevard, fleeing the scene after each collision. While Bernstein allegedly ran for the hills, her car had already recorded the crash and automatically contacted 911 after recording the time and date of the collision.

In a later call from emergency services made to Bernstein directly, the driver denied all knowledge of any accident. The driver told the dispatcher that "everything was fine," before the dispatcher said, "Ok but your car called in saying you'd been involved in an accident. It doesn't do that for no reason. Did you leave the scene of an accident?"
"No I would never do that," Bernstein replied.

DonDiego suggest the interested reader, if any, be alert to the possibilities that one's smart devices may not be loyal to their human "owners".

DonDiego is training himself to be more aware of his appliances; he has been especially suspicious of his toaster for some time.

For several years now, my blender has been reporting to the authorities the various alcohol-laden concoctions I’ve been mixing. It’s not fair, because I never actually drink them, of course.

Is it possible that clcjim stores Nyquil next to his blender?

OnStar will do this.
Good feature, especially if you're off the road unseen in a ditch or in a desolate location.

Strictly guessing, Ms. Bernstein is a person who needs this feature attached to her vehicle.

And I'd guess that she was under the influence, as persons who typically flee a situation in which they know they are at fault often do.

And I'd guess that she has warrants or is on probation, informing her decision to flee.

On an unrelated but similar note, it seems to us that the number of drivers willing to blatently run red lights is increasing. So now, we who obey traffic signals must wait a few seconds after our light turns green to avoid being T-boned by the inconsiderate SOBs who think the red light doesn't apply to them. Rant over. Thank you.
