Same issue with kangaroos here in Aus - that's why trucks have crash barrier/'bull bar' designed to throw the poor kangaroo up over the windshield, you don't want it coming in and kicking you to death

I've seen similar setups of fences and crossings while traveling the foothills in Arizona.
And I've seen moose/elk crossing signs that were a little more graphic; where the moose is standing in a "charge" stance with his antlers lowered

Google Translate did a pretty good job of translating the story, although the picture pretty much tells the tale -- thankfully no one was in the passenger seat and the driver suffered only minor injuries.
I know from personal experience how much damage a much smaller deer can do. Last Nov my wife & I were driving on a major highway when a deer jumped the cement median and slammed into the front driver's quarter panel of our mini-van. I was in the left lane and had a vehicle on my right, no room to maneuver. I had enough time to say "Oh, no!" before the deer hit us. The deer and I got a moment to look into each other's eyes from a range of 2' as it hit the vehicle, then it was gone.
We were doing 75 mph/120 kph and the deer weighed probably 110-120 lbs (~180 kg). Killed both the deer and the van (destroyed the front quarter, wheel assembly, driver door, and passenger door; damaged the rear quarter panel). The wife & I were shaken up but unharmed. I prefer to not think about what a 440 to 1,500 lb moose would have done ...

Well, younger me would've fixed the current COVID-19 crisis a long time ago.
I figured, that if you could get sick if sick people coughed on you...
You could get better if healthy people coughed on you
I was like < 10 years old at the time and still had better ideas about health than a certain world leader who shall remain unnamed

Maybe not carrying solar panels on their backs, but there are a number of solar panels mounted on the rooftops. So there is some experience, both daytime and nighttime experience.

It gets even worse when you try to run a computer with the power from the turbines. When the voltages are reversed, everything works backwards. Input ports become output ports, additions suddently are substractions, all signals are inverted and the programs are executed backwards. Half of the logic on your main board is dedicated to preventing this from happening*
* I actually could use some of that logic right now, but for a totally different purpose. If you want to overclock a processor, you have to monitor the core and bus voltages, the clock frequency as well as the processor's temperature very carefully. Having hardware to do this and reducing the clock frequency when the processor gets too hot would be nice. As a bonus, you adjust these things in the BIOS menus, instead of soldering.

Believe me, coffee is one of the milder cures for that condition. This thing[^] is works much faster.

Reminds me of one of my earliest experiences with data communication: This analog, asynchronous modem line driver reported "framing error" all the time. That really meant: Sycnrohizing with the received signal failed. This happened when a single byte was transmitted, but that happened only when the message was a positive ACKnowledge; any NACK (negative ACK) was followed by error data. So until the receiver was fixed, the receiving software was programmed to treat "framing error" as a positive ACK.
That is what I would call true inverted logic.

Besides the fact that I don't see any reason to wear one in the car, but regardless, the police believe this particular person passed out while driving a car because of their mask.
It may turn out to be something else in the end, but still interesting and something to think about.
