Anyone else see this humorous?

Just saw this article in the news... Couldn't help but find it extremely humorous and almost unbelievable, especially in regards to the Mustang. I can only imagine it also has a "Cars and Coffee avoidance tech" to actually work!

TL;DR = 2018 Mustang will have "pedestrian avoidance tech"

But what about our pedestrian hitting mustang memes?
Has Ford thought about that!

Shame to see cars like this put on a trailer. They should be driven home period.

Every mile put on a car like that drops the value. It could be shipping for thousands of mile. Most true "collector" cars never ever get driven.
Besides it is a 65 Mustang so 5 drops of water means the floor will be rotten straight through in a day.

The record is held by a fellow Canadian that totaled it on the way out of the dealer.

Those stupid ass looking wheels probably dropped its value more than that fender bender.

Is the suspension or driveline on Mustangs really bad and make it so prone to accidents? I see a lot of videos where the rear end starts that tank slapping and ends up in a wall/curb/crowd etc. Is it only driver error or is the car just really poor handling?
