Cook also said that issues around the Cybertruck and other new car designs come about because the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards “under-specifies” safety standards for vehicle entry (commonly described in car engineering as ingress) and exit (egress). These standards should in theory minimize the risk of injury in both normal and emergency conditions by defining the highest possible level of safety design of the door, the step height, the quality of the door grab handles, visibility, and emergency exits.
“Combined with the ‘self-certification’ contract that exists between US auto regulators and manufacturers, it is effectively left up to Tesla to design their door actuation systems and any emergency-access systems related to that,” Cook said.
Just how hard it is it to design a car with an easily openable door? Elon cares more about aesthetics than safety.
aesthetics
You mean the cyber truck? Because that is the only shit he actually came up with, the rest was done by other people
Right in my own back yard. We read about this when it happened. What tragic thing to be right there and unable to save your friends.
Cook suggested that the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) independently investigate incidents like the one in Piedmont to better understand the root cause of the issue.
Something tells me that ain’t happening.
Just break the windo…oh right
Easy, just carry a heavy metal ball.
