First off, I'll trust US tech and safety protocols over China any day. Secondly, please remind me how practical and readily available those Chinese flying cars actually are right now.
As we speak, no international aviation authority has cleared passenger drones to fly over civilian city streets. They are restricted to tightly controlled test zones because a 20-minute battery life is completely impractical for real world commuting. Meanwhile, Tesla is building mass market autonomous ground vehicles designed to navigate real roads, pass rigorous crash tests, and serve millions of everyday citizens sustainably.

Kimbeast:
Your personal preference for US technology doesn't change the facts. China already has passenger eVTOL aircraft that have received certification from its aviation regulator, including the EHang Eh21 so your claim that these aircraft are restricted to test zones is a lie. Nobody said Chinese flying cars are already practical for everyday commuting but they are far more practical and better than that rubbish design you posted. Even Musk knows he's just putting on a show.

Ehang ko, Echoke nii.

Chinese rush to entice the world and end up creating half-baked shites.

USA tech and practicality anyday.

Your beef with China is not my problem. Pretending China isn't neck and neck with the US in technology and innovation is just plain bias.

Bimmarlykay:
Its head and shoulders bruh.

USA gat the concept,Yina gat the labour.

Why do you think they keep buying many automotive brands after many failed automotive attempts?

Bimmarlykay:
You think Musk Engineers and Scientists didn't think about this?

Whatever floats your boat.

Wait, People Who Sell Boiled Eggs In Nigeria Mix Detergent With The Eggs While Boiling Them Before Selling Them To People For Consumption? 🤦🏾‍♂️ pic.twitter.com/6apUNNGkrs

According to Edmund, the case was initially reported at the Ajah Police Division before being transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department, Panti, Yaba, where two women who identified themselves as the suspect’s mother and sister visited him.

He said the women claimed to be from Agbor, Delta State, adding that he became concerned about recovering his expenses after learning that the suspect had been released on bail.

Edmund alleged that he was pressured to withdraw the case after investigators established that the suspect had a psychiatric condition.

“I am already suspecting foul play in the police dealings because I was hurried to close the case when the man was confirmed to be a psychiatric patient. Just yesterday evening, he had been released on bail.

“For somebody who caused me such heavy damage, how am I going to bear these losses alone, knowing that the culprit has been released? Somebody attempted to steal a car from my outlet. It is sad,” he said.

The dealer appealed for assistance in recovering from the financial losses, saying preliminary estimates put the cost of repairing the damaged Toyota Tundra at about N40m

BlueRayDick:
The VGC car dealer claims Nigerian Police have released the suspected thief on the premise that the guy has psychiatric condition .

As a result of that , he is to bear the cost of all damages caused by the psycho customer

Releasing him is crazzzzy, but the car dealer ought to know that he would bear the losses.

The greatest punishment he can receive is a prison sentence.

raumdeuter:
If you arrest a man like that and finds out he has nothing and no means of paying back. Whats the worst you can do to him?

In Nigeria the police fit even they ask you who lost money for more money to help prosecute your case.

Its a terrible thing for the car dealer. Its almost like your drunk personal driver bashing your Gwagon, or an aboki Okada rider crashing into your luxury car he is too poor to pay for anything. If you too manhandle am the thing fit turn on your head

I guess this is where your conversation about insurance the other day becomes important

I hope the car dealer has good insurance even though they will try to deny the claim say they are not covering for the test drive time since it should be the test drivers insurance covering for that

Nigerian police are a special breed. We literally caught a robber in a neighbours house at 2 am. The police let the guy go on some excuse or the other. As the guy was being bundled into the car everyone was already suspicious about the outcome.

Police declaring a person has 'psychiatric condition without actual diagnosis by a professional. And you wonder why jungle justice is so popular. Four people allegedly died

I can only assume the thief was not acting alone and was part of a syndicate who have now bailed him out.

BlueRayDick:
There’s actually an insurance policy specifically designed to cover motor traders . The insurance policy will cover the vehicle while it’s in the car lot as well as when customers take it out for test drive .

The issue is Nigerians don’t really see insurance as something they will need until they suffer a loss they never imagine was possible .

As regards the police releasing the guy , this is the first time I will see police following the law ; even though the outcome no favor the complainant . Normally u can’t really charge someone who has been clinically confirmed to be mentally unstable , It’s just the way a contract entered into with a mad man is not binding under the law

BlueRayDick:
They said the guy’s relatives claimed he was a psychiatric patient and the police investigations confirmed it to be true .

I’m guessing the guy’s relatives brought documents along with them and maybe police called the psychiatric hospital confirm it to be true .

It’s just like someone claiming their relative is a patient at the neuropsychiatric hospital Yaba with evidence and the police puts a call through to the CMD to confirm same . At that point they have no choice but to release him .

It was state CID that released him , so I believe they would’ve consulted their legal unit before releasing him

GloriousGbola:
A google search shows there is a federal psychiatric hospital in yaba

Option b the family that recovered the guy should be sued. If they failed to take care of their ward then they should face the consequences of their actions. They allowed their son with mental issues to move to another state and become a danger to everyone

GloriousGbola:
What clinical confirmation?

This is like all those medical condition politicians suddenly manifest when facing trial.

A guy was arrested in an attempted theft, vehiclar homicide and the police let the person go after a so called revelation that the man had a mental condition?

If that is the case the guy should have been sent straight to an asylum. You cannot pull the mentally unstable claim for grand theft and property damage and homicide and then go back home. Well at least not in a society with backward crooked cops.

GloriousGbola:
Did the driver have a license?
Does the car have road worthiness?
Is the car registered?
This falls under acts of God.

It will be much harder because this case has been all over the news.

BlueRayDick:
Baba calm down, Psychiatric hospitals dey do outpatient treatment too.

I know of someone whose adult daughter was treated at the Neuropsychatric Hospital Yaba and she was never admitted. Initially she was always taken to the hospital by her mum on her appointment days. As she was responding to treatment, it got to a point they told the mum to allow her come by herself without anybody coming with her. They just do a cab/uber for her to and fro. She got better and living a normal life now.

So it's possible the guy was an outpatient before he relapsed or stopped taking his meds.

Are you sure about the bold cos I know when taking for a test drive they should ask for your Licence and insurance.

Are you sure the test drivers insurance is not the liable party for test drives?

A diagnosis patient who is demonstrably a danger to society cannot be left alone. Arguing that Dayo and nihilistijnr are the same person is not the same scale as arming yourself with juju, driving through a barrier and running people over with a car.

Personally I would say the guy first needs to be tested by a court appointed psychiatrist. He was stable enough to arrange for juju, stable enough to con and woo a dealer into handing a car to him. To me it is more a case of failed parents who deploying their black sheep's escape plan.

raumdeuter:
Sued if they have the means. If na the avergae poor family, what are you achieving my suing them? More waste of money on court cases and time wasted.

If you eventually win and they tell them to pay 20m, how will the family get it?

Sometimes the juice is not worth the squeeze
