Since the "self driving" uses cameras instead of lidar I think every Tornado Silver car will get run over for being the same color as the road.

Maybe it is just me, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. That picture makes that tesla truck look ridiculous!! Just like I when revved my 1.1 liter wankel on a rain slick street, next to a 1980's pony car that was maxed out for drag racing. It was zoom zoom vs. a decal covered angry monster roaring clacky clack rumble bumble with through straight glass packs. My little 7 thought it was going to be swallowed whole !

You might be safe. Tornado Silver was the charcoal grey.
