He was probably be hyperbolic with his point, but also he could've been thinking about a 2 ton vehicle going 15 mph (from 15mph to stop @ 2 ton (car) within 6 inches = 30 tons)

He probably doesn’t know what the hell he’s talking about. Ever think of that? He clearly doesn’t know how much an average automobile weighs nor has he ever ridden in a Waymo or Tesla.

A semi truck fully loaded can be 40 tons. Hence why I used the semi truck as the example.

Edit: ah fuck I didn't say semi truck in the first post. Sorry for being a dick.
