It would be great if every vehicle had a dedicated means of generating an emergency egress pathway. Public transport internationally uses Safe-T-Punch devices fitted to readily breakable toughened glass windows. UN ECE R107. When uninjured occupants of a crashed vehicle (actual 1st responders) can extricate themselves, thereby not unnecessarily further endangering the lives of fire and rescue crews, risks are reduced.
Fantastic presentation.. What does NHTSA do again? Seems like the EV industry could use some more safety standards. I can clearly see how a firefighter might not have the same willingness to interact with an EV that they did with an ICE vehicle.

ALL BEV’S should be mandated to have non electrically operated doors and windows to ensure passenger escape in case of an accident
I’m looking forward to seeing dash displacement on the front casting of a Tesla Model Y.
Is the crossbeam particularly unusual?
