Ha, the stream is not that bad in 2021 when the Google car drove it in your link. But if you go forward two steps, the date changes to 2024, and if you pan back to the river there is a much stronger/higher flow.
replySeems to me like they drove through it in 2021 but said fuck that in 2024!
It seems to me you could do something interesting with floating warning devices that only appear when the water's too deep.
replyMy dad went through one of those in England where it was a bit deep. The car had to have a new engine.
replyMake a mental note of the level of the air intake for the engine in your car, if the water doesn't make it that high you should be fine as long as you don't get stuck (no, i don't where it is on my car).
replyThe engine gets damaged when water gets into the piston chamber i think. Water compresses less than air so important things bend or crack if the engine is running too long with water in it.
I wonder how electric cars fare with deep water.

replyThe ground clearance for my EV is 7 inches. The manual specifies it can handle 18 inches of water.
I don't know if that's the point where water messes with the electronics, or a swift current would start to move it sideways.
