Arthur paid a visit to Elias at his modern, minimalist apartment. Elias was polite, slightly nervous, and nursing a sore arm.

"They measure physics," Arthur corrected. "And physics is incredibly hard to fake. I noticed something interesting in your code repositories online. You've been working on environmental simulators for autonomous driving."

Thorne had walked away with nothing but a bruised shoulder and a wild story. The sports car, however, was sitting at the bottom of a 200-foot ravine, reduced to a heap of expensive, unrecoverable carbon fiber. The Red Flags

The claim seemed impossible until Special Investigations Unit investigator Arthur Vance looked at the telematics data. The Phantom Collision

Instead of looking at the wreckage, Arthur looked at the data.

Arthur opened his tablet and showed Elias a graph of the telematics data. "I looked at the millisecond-by-millisecond readouts of your steering and pedal inputs. No human being has a reaction time that precise. The counter-steering began 0.04 seconds after the simulated obstacle appeared. A human takes at least 0.2 seconds to process and react."
