ate all the Oreos posted:like i said i don't think they necessarily have to be any more dangerous than what we already use, i just think that will take careful design and regulation as well as developing new procedures or tools for first responders. the fact that the NTSB is investigating this at all tells me we're proobably not quite there yet right but my interpretation was that the ntsb was investigating it because the door handles don't open from the inside or something, not just because of the batteries. i guess they might just be gathering data on battery fires in general since lithium electric cars are relatively new.

its also entirely possible that its a problem with lack of protections for the lithium cells. like that fiesta or w/e that exploded when you hit it from the back.

couldnt earlier models of the prius electrocute people replacing the 12v battery due to the way the hybrid battery charged it

I know there was a meme going around back in the day for Priuses because there was a worry that mechanics would electrocute themselves since there were much higher power systems in it than they were used to dealing with?

Yeah, the prius had 288 volts DC at virtually unlimited amps. Drop a wrench across a car battery and it arcs and pops and heats up. Drop a wrench across a Prius pack and it explodes in your face

dumbest driver I remember was some lady losing her loving mind cause I was slowly coasting to red lights (as opposed to driving and stopping quickly for no reason?) so much screaming and gesticulating, hated that I kept getting ahead of her while going slower. do cars gently caress with peoples brains or just bring to light what was already there

Drop a wrench across a Prius pack and it explodes in your face you have to work really hard to get to a prius pack for the last decade at least the prius wont charge the 12v battery off of the hybrid battery if the 12v is dead; car won't engage the hybrid battery without the tiny 12v battery to turn on the rest of the systems

more pixie-dust-and-unicorn-farts investor storytime from uber - todays, its the high tech flying car terminals of the future     quote:John Badalamenti, Uber’s head of design for advanced programs and aviation, called the designs a “culmination of hundreds of designers and engineers that have created dozens of designs for a highly efficient and modular Skyport.” He added, “While uberAIR might feel like a far away dream, it’s closer than you think and urban infrastructure has to start to evolve now to keep up.”
