Not a lot of technical details on this story, but it feels like this is the kind of problem satellites deal with: the Single Event Upset (SEU) where bits in memory (or in a CPU register) can get flipped, causing all kinds of failures.

for all they scream about "importing the third world" it's the most idiotic, base tribal clannishness they aspire too as well. fuck rule of law, fuck the law, fuck rules, fuck neutral institutions, fuck universalism, fuck meritocracy.
i mean what are these "western values" these guys are so hopped up about? they are directly antagonistic to western europe. they don't believe in civil liberties. they reject democracy. and don't get me started on christianity, they hate their white neighbors almost as much as the brown ones

![I am not a Know-Nothing. That is certain. How could I be? How can any one who abhors the oppression of negroes, be in favor or degrading classes of white people? Our progress in degeneracy appears to me to be pretty rapid. As a nation, we began by declaring that "all men are created equal." We now practically read it "all men are created equal, except negroes" When the Know-Nothings get control, it will read "all men are created equal, except negroes, and foreigners, and Catholics." When it comes to this I should prefer emigrating to some country where they make no pretence of loving liberty -- to Russia, for instance, where despotism can be taken pure, and without the base alloy of hypocracy [sic].](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:egd33s7iuqsmwlwab6mbtrqi/bafkreiaaicjid4jg3oongeah73ukqvwsqv4vwbp75q4f755nldtcfermhi@jpeg)

Being very "well, actually", and going just by www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... - my gut feeling is that it was working as designed... it just wasn't designed for these conditions.
You know this area well, is the investigation result likely to be published?

Por otra parte, el camión ha de ser un distribuidor granular - para larga distancia hay ferrocarril, short sea shipping, fluvial, etc.
Bonificar las autovías/autopistas no ayuda a incentivar esos otros modos.
