some kind of driver problem?

Hopefully no one got hit
My local buses used to have something on the screens that would occasionally get stuck in a reboot loop between something that looked a bit like BIOS text and then MS-DOS. This was over a decade ago though. The screens were designed to switch between different views from the bus's various cameras. I think the idea was to discourage anti-social behaviour by reminding people they were being watched.
But I guess the contract ended and things proved too expensive or too hard to maintain because the next batch of buses didn't have screens in them. The cameras didn't go anywhere though.
Are you my BIL’s ex? I still haven’t gotten over you knocking out the WiFi on the bus we were on for four hours.
Twice in the last couple of months my bus has "crashed" during my commute.
The fix both times: rebooting it. While it was immobile in the middle of the street blocking traffic, of course.
Both the joy and the pain of EVs, potentially.
A car/bus that can't separate essential functionality from infotainment, shouldn't be allowed on the streets.
I’ve seen Tesla’s shut the car down and force an update in the middle of the road because they were parked in a ramp and didn’t have OTA signal/wifi.
What’s crazy is that it’s mostly unnecessary- you can update almost everything behind the scenes, and then push the ones you can’t once the drive is stopped.
Worst part is they sat there in the middle of rush hour traffic for ~20 minutes while the slow ass download happened.
A watchdog crashed? Aren't they supposed to prevent stuff like this?
Too bad you didn't get the legendary dmesg error "gpu has fallen off the bus"
With I title like that I expected some destruction of property or death then I saw this was in programming humor
