Despite the rapid technology advances in #EVs, they still present safety challenges.
One of the inherent issues is the heaviness of EVs – meaning other vehicles bear the burden of absorbing more crash energy in collisions. This dilemma is central to the concept of “crash compatibility,” a well-established field of safety research.
Solutions include lightweight materials, more powerful sensing technologies and safety algorithms, improved seat belts and better airbags.
