Boyds Creek, Tennessee

Boyds Creek is an unincorporated community in Sevier County, Tennessee, United States. It is named for a small southward-flowing tributary of the French Broad River of the same name, which itself derives its name from a Virginian trader, killed by a band of Cherokee Indians, whose body was thrown into the stream. The creek was the site of a 1780 battle (The Battle of Boyd's Creek) between white settlers and Cherokee angry at the settlers' encroachment onto their hunting territory.[2]

gollark: That does make some sense, I guess. But hardly seems like it requires specifically 5G.
gollark: Given that they're... physically near each other, presumably.
gollark: For communication between cars, it seems odd to have them all link back to a tower.
gollark: So having anything which works by streaming vast amounts of data all the time does not seem smart.
gollark: They need to be able to operate independently of the network, or everything will go horribly wrong if they go into a tunnel, or there's a temporary outage.
