This is not that.

The lady in this video stopped on the shoulder.

The lady in your story stopped in the left lane which is illegal.

Separately, I don't know why the people in the above video are slowed in the left lane, that is dumb. You don't have to slow to a bear stop just because someone is on the shoulder.

If you break a law and cause damage that is a good case for negligence. Since you intentionally didn't do the standard thing people do (ie, take the necessary and reasonable steps to avoid damage).

Oh yeah I totally agree. It is just black mirror in particular was designed as something that is not just scifi fantasy, but something that is dangerously close to what we have IRL.

They did social credit apps before china did it for real. They had metalhead right before Boston dynamics spot got popularized. They have been right at the edge of what is possible and luckily nothing dystopian has happened.
