Really losing temper with 2 year old. advice?

Today tested me to my absolute limits and I've got three deep bites on my hands, two on my knuckles from my toddler who pierced the skin in multiple places. I absolutely lost it, I really screamed and called him names. I nearly crashed the car. And then look at him shaking and crying and just so little I feel evil. He has a violent temper and intentionally hurts himself and me when angry/upset and it's getting worse and I'm starting to lose it in return. I know getting angry and screaming will just make him scream more, case and point made today. How do I handle it? As horrible as it is when he goes like this I know he really is way too little to lose it with like that. I feel very ashamed and low tonight.

I am ok generally at handling his many tantrums calmly and I am patient with him. But in the prolonged violent outburst when he is repeatedly hurting or trying to hurt me I'm seeing red Sad

When you’re driving you just have to ignore him. Literally pretend he isn’t there. Very hard but you have to be safe. (As long as he’s strapped in and can’t get anywhere)!

It’s a really difficult age but I found the minute they bit / kicked etc anything like that I’d literally turn my back and ignore them after saying a very firm no.

Is there anything particular that seems to set him off?
