Teenage Girl Crashes Her Mercedes into a Few Cars in Wat Phnom Area

Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

Are you suggesting that a Tesla has never been involved in a crash?

I think he wants to say the Tesla autopilot performs better than a drunk Khmer girl.

Autopilot in general won't help with unmarked lanes, or if other drivers don't drive within the lanes as in PP

Safety aid technologies such as automated driving, collision avoidance, lane departure, auto-braking, not driving on sidewalks, etc., all depend on the premise of orderly, organized traffic rules. In the Kingdom of Wonder, insane drivers routinely clip the corner curbs, drive the wrong way, etc. six pairs of eyes are required for driving (and just walking around).

I can just imagine the face of Mr. Ohkna in his brand new (and very expensive) self driving Tesla when it suddenly refuses to let him park on the sidewalk. Or pulls over and stops when ordered by the police. Or lets lesser cars in front of him pass.
