    Losing control of a vehicle is suspicious because it lines up with a remote lockdown backdoor like tesla uses on vehicles who it suspects of breaking contract.

    If he had been on his phone or having a medical attack that’s actually more understandable. But yeah a drive through texas after bar hours is also maybe a shit situation. Its just more suspicious when the entity he’s witnessing against has been willing to use illegal force and has the means to do so.
