People are freaking out about Toyota's self-driving vehicle that's eerily similar to one that hit a pedestrian on 'Black Mirror'

• Toyota unveiled its self-driving e-Palette concept vehicle at the International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) on Monday.
• "Black Mirror" fans thought the vehicle resembled a self-driving pizza delivery vehicle that hits a pedestrian on an episode of the show.
• Toyota and Pizza Hut announced a partnership before the e-Palette reveal and suggested that the vehicle could be used to deliver pizza.

When Toyota unveiled its self-driving e-Palette concept vehicle at the International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas on Monday, the company touted the vehicle's potential to serve as a multi-purpose delivery vehicle, mobile office, or storefront. Before the reveal, Toyota announced a partnership with Pizza Hut and suggested that the vehicle could be used to deliver pizza.

But fans of the show "Black Mirror"— whose episodes imagine dystopian futures based on modern trends and technology —  were reminded of a similar-looking pizza delivery vehicle that hits a character in the episode "Crocodile."

"We know how this goes," the show's Twitter account said in response to the e-Palette reveal.

"Nah, we aren't Fence's. " Pizza Hut's account replied, referring to the fictional pizza company whose autonomous vehicle strikes a pedestrian.

"Black Mirror" fans expressed their concern on Twitter.
