“At least one person has been killed after heavy fog caused a pile-up of over 200 vehicles near the city of Zhengzhou, in central China.”
Heavy fog is no joke. Gets to a point of guessing what is in front.

I remember we were driving through a very foggy part on a highway when i was a child. We already saw crashed cars and many standing on the hard shoulder. Then someone was crossing the highway on foot, so my mother had to swerwe, crashing into another car standing on the hard shoulder.
Don't drive there, and don't walk on fucking highways when nobody sees shit. Stay behind the crash barriers, because you ain't safe anywhere there, even in a car
(Edit: Tbf maybe the person might just have escaped from their own crashed car... idk. But my mother should've been wiser and we should have stopped earlier.)

You need to know the stopping distance of your vehicle on various surfaces, and travel at a speed that allows you to come to a complete stop within the limits of your visibility. Hoping there is nothing in front of the car and continuing on at 60mph is how selfish people cause fatalities.

I was on the last 4 hour leg of a long road trip and driving back home in the middle of the night, suddenly stuck in the densest fog I’ve ever seen. I knew a toll was coming up at some point but I couldn’t see any signs or other cars until I was nearly on top of them. Nearly split my knuckles open from gripping the wheel so hard.

But but the Great Elon told me that for the low low price of 15,000 USD, my car would drive itself (one day soon, definitely, like next year probably, if inky we didn't have all those pesky government regulators) , and just like people, all it needs are some cameras, and none of the lidar, radar, ultrasonic crap being used by dinosaur "legacy" auto!
