Electric ‘self-driving’ BMW veers into oncoming traffic leaving one dead and nine seriously injured in horrifying crash

AT least one person is dead and nine seriously hurt after a “self-steering” BWM test car veered into oncoming traffic in Germany. Police said the all-electric BMW iX – with four adults and child on board – swerved out of its lane and caused a horror pile-up with three other vehicles.

It first hit an oncoming Citroen, before crashing head-on with a Mercedes-Benz Vito van – in which a 33-year-old passenger was killed.

The car maker added: “We are in the process of investigating the exact circumstances. “Of course we are in close contact with authorities.” Level 2 systems can brake automatically, accelerate and – unlike Level 1 – take over steering, according to BMW’s website. Self-driving cars have been involved in a number of fatal crashes before. One of Uber’s Volvo test cars struck and killed a woman crossing the road in Arizona in 2018. Footage allegedly showed the car – which was in “autonomous mode” – had time to brake before impact. A year earlier Uber had pulled its test fleet from the roads after another car ended up on its side. At least three Tesla drivers have died since 2016 while using autopilot mode. In May this year a Tesla driver was ordered to stand trial for manslaughter after two people died in a December 2019 crash in Gardena, California. The Model S car was on autopilot when it exited a freeway, ran a red light and slammed into a Honda at 74mph, police said Prosecutors allege the driver should have been ready to take control but failed to touch the brake pedal.

Incredible pics reveal massive US show of force over Pacific with nuclear B2 stealth bombers in warning to China

STEALTH bombers swoop over the Pacific Ocean in a spectacular show of American air power amid fears of all-out war with China. A warship sails below as two B-2 Spirit nuclear strike planes fly in formation with four F/A-18 Hornet fighters and a high-tech E-7A Wedgetail “eye-in-the-sky” spy plane from Australia.

These incredible pictures were posted online by the US Pacific Air Forces headquartered in Hawaii. It said the “bilateral training missions” alongside Royal Australian Air Force allies “enhance joint and multilateral readiness”. And it said the drills allow the Indo-Pacific Command to “respond to any potential crisis in support of a #FreeAndOpenIndoPacific.” READ MORE ON CHINA RED OCTOBER China deploys its most advanced stealth sub ‘for sinking US aircraft carriers’ VISION OF HELL China threatens to impose 're-education' on Taiwan echo of Uyghur genocide That was seen as a pointed reference to massive Chinese war games that surrounded Taiwan with planes and jets this month. Xi Jinping’s forces effectively blockaded the self-ruled island and fired ballistic missiles in a chilling rehearsal for an invasion. Such a conflict could draw the US and other allies into a catastrophic battle of superpowers, experts warn.

Still among the world’s most feared warplanes, they can drop up to 80 independently guided weapons on a single 6,000-mile mission. Or they can deliver two 14-ton bunkerbuster bombs – called the Massive Ordnance Penetrator – to destroy buried targets 200ft underground. The US has reiterated support for Taiwan after China refused to rule out the use of force to seize the independent island. Tensions exploded earlier this month when US Speaker Nancy Pelosi became the first high-profile US politician to visit in 25 years. China responded with huge exercises blocking Taiwan’s air and sea space, forcing Taiwanese defenders to go on war footing. Yesterday China launched further “combat readiness” sea and air drills in response to a visit by a cross-party group of Congressmen. The Defence Ministry branded the trip an “ambush visit” that “violates China’s sovereignty and territorial integrity”. Analysts fear Beijing could use claims of “provocation” as an excuse to invade Taiwan, which it claims as its own. At least four detailed scenarios are said to have been plotted by Xi’s military planners, designed to test resolve in the US to get involved. READ MORE ON THE SUN LOO KNEW?

Watch horror moment pod of bloodthirsty killer whales ‘bent on destruction’ rams Brits’ yacht and BITES OFF rudder

THIS is the terrifying moment a pod of bloodthirsty killer whales rammed into a British yacht and ripped off a chunk of the rudder. The crew were sailing 20 miles off the coast of Spain in the Atlantic Ocean when they suddenly found their 50ft yacht surrounded by the killer creatures. BBCThe crew were sailing in the Atlantic Ocean when they found their yacht surrounded by the orcas[/caption] BBCThe pod of killer whales were attacking the rudder of the boat, making the wheel spin uncontrollably[/caption] The pod of orcas appeared bent on destruction, attacking the boat with a huge amount of force. Speaking on an episode of Close Calls: On Camera, crew member Martin said: “It was intense. “We realised that if this animal chooses to do something, it will do it and there’s nothing you’ll be able to do to stop it.” The former stand-up comedian was on a three-week voyage via the Mediterranean with another member of crew and a skipper. READ MORE ON KILLER WHALES ORCA HELL Horror moment ‘sex-crazed’ SeaWorld orca mauls trainer in front of shocked crowd WHALE HELL Ex-SeaWorld trainer says 'Jurassic Park-style' breeding created 'hybrid whales' On a clear afternoon, Martin was about to take a quick break for a cup of tea when he noticed the wheel started whizzing around on its own. “The autopilot had been playing up on the trip, so we’d had a couple of situations where the boat would just go off course,” he said. “But this was not an autopilot failure and I knew immediately we were in trouble.” He added: “I could just see these whales on either side of the boat, right next to the boat and I just shouted down, ‘orcas!’ MOST READ IN NEWS HIGH ALERT Millions warned to start packing as flood warning brings 2 ins of rain in hours PUTIN IT ON Putin's deranged army SMASHED by multiple new blasts in occupied Crimea M-WAY TRAGEDY Mum stranded on motorway when Green Flag refused to help killed by truck BRING THEM HOME Mum's plea to find kids, aged 8, 6 and 4, who vanished 'on trip to seaside' BEACH BODY BOJO PM stretches out on sun-kissed Greek isle a week after Slovenia spa break SEAFRONT BRAWL Moment topless men throw punches at each other in front of shocked families “Their power was tremendous.” The crew realised the pod of aggressive killer whales were attacking the rudder of the boat, making the wheel spin uncontrollably. Martin said it meant it was “impossible” to control the helm of the vessel. “It was going to break my wrists, so it was hands off and just sit back” he said. Asleep in his cabin, crew member Nathan said he was woken up by the skipper’s shouts. He said: “I thought we were sinking. Every pounding noise of a whale body hitting the boat, you think, crikey, is this going to break the boat?” “You’re within a shell of fibreglass and you can only hit it so hard, and it was just thuds, thuds, thuds.” Martin soon noticed one of the whales had a chunk of the rudder in its mouth – leaving them with no way of steering. He said: “It had, the only way to describe it, a chunk of rudder in its mouth. “That’s not good, that really can’t be good, there is rudder in its mouth.” Sinking became a real possibility for the terrified crew as the whales continued to smash themselves into the hull of the yacht. Martin called up the Spanish coastguard for help and they switched off all the electrics and dropped the sales, deciding to sit tight. ‘SERIOUS TROUBLE’ “I was concerned that we were far enough away from land that if something had happened, we were in pretty serious trouble,” he said. The terrifying saga lasted more than two hours before the orcas vanished as quickly as they appeared. The crew knew they had been left with a damaged boat, but they managed to limp into the port at Gibraltar. Martin and Nathan said they consider themselves extremely lucky to have seen the orcas and to escape the close encounter unharmed. Martin said: “It was as close a call as I’ve had in my life and I really consider myself quite fortunate.” There has been increased reports of killer whales attacking boats off the coasts of Spain and Portugal. More than 230 orca interactions have been reported in the last two years, ranging from the massive animals approaching boats to attacking them. The creatures are regularly spotted in the area as they migrate to feed on tuna living around the Straits of Gibraltar. It comes after five people were rescued after a pod of crazed killer whales sank a tourist boat off the coast of Portugal. The 25ft orcas smashed a hole in the hull six miles from the port of Sines earlier this month. READ MORE ON THE SUN LOO KNEW?

According to Pravda, two men were killed instantly by the blast, bringing the number of people killed by mines in the Black Sea this summer to five. Fears over a Russian airstrike on beachgoers had led to a ban on attending the popular Odesa shoreline during the summer. But a city council spokesman said “a group of men'” had “ignored the announced restrictions on visiting the coast and swimming in coastal waters”.

During the early days of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Kremlin forces laid mines across the Black Sea before being forced to retreat from the Ukrainian coast.

Regional authorities warned: “Police urge residents and guests of Odesa region to strictly follow the rules of martial law. “Do not go to the coastal protection zone of the Black Sea, do not swim in the mined sea. “While swimming in the sea in one of the villages of Odesa district, an explosion of an unknown object killed a 50-year-old man in front of his wife, son and friend. “The latter miraculously did not suffer, because he went swimming with the victim.” “Once again, a strict ban on visiting the coast and swimming in the sea are security measures that are life-threatening if neglected.” A report by the Human Rights Watch has estimated thousands of mines have been laid by Putin’s forces since the invasion began in February.

Since then, she’s had her tongue split, various stretchers (tunnels) and her favourite modification – getting her eyeballs inked completely black. “I fall in love with my eyes every time I see them and I’m the first girl in Nepal to have this – I feel so proud,” Anu told NeedToKnow.Online. “The most painful body modification for me was my split tongue, as I felt sick for at least a week.
