I hate it when they give ambiguous testing figures like “getting run over by a 15.6 ton truck”, it’s not accurate because it isn’t specific. Do they mean a wheel pushing directly onto the chip? Or is it just getting quickly run over? Are they doing burnouts on the chip? Is the chip stuck down on the presumably regular road, or is it just tossed there?
So many things could happen, the chip gets scratched and becomes unusable, the chip survives because it was stuck to the floor, the chip survives/dies because the truck went too slow/fast, etc.
I haven’t read the article yet tho, imma read it now to see if there’s any context to this.
Edit: the context is fuck all. They just threw the statement in seemingly as dramatisation. Maybe they were implying that the chip would survive flawlessly while implanted in a persons arm, if that person were to get violently killed by a 15.6 tonne truck going 300kph, who knows.
