Eject the warp core!

No, Shaxs

Imagine hacking the car and be able to eject everyone’s batteries while they are driving.

Let's hope it's not launched at a busy intersection with a lot of pedestrians waiting to cross the street.

Let's play hot potato!

Well, there are a lot of these batteries catching on fire around the world all the time, and very seldom does anything like this happen. I just don’t want people thinking that Chinese EVs aren’t safe.

But the front fell off!

[-] SenatorCollins@aussie.zone 8 points 11 months ago

Well, I was thinking more about the other ones.

This is not yet being mass produced, and I hope it never will.

I’m not saying it wasn’t safe, it’s just perhaps not quite as safe as some of the other ones.

While it’s at best a hazard for a battery to eject on an urban highway, this would be really bad if it happened on a busy city street or even start forest fires in rural/heavily forested areas.

I hope they go back to the drawing board

the test was organized by the China Automotive Collision Repair & Technology Research Center. Stage graphics show it took place during the “Power Battery Launch Technology Demonstration and Exchange Meeting” on September 19, 2025.

That's basically some guy in his back yard, except he gets funding and a fancy title, and his back yard is a warehouse or some shit.

Ah, a tankie troll.

[-] Sturgist@lemmy.ca 1 points 11 months ago

Fuck no! It was clearly a joke. You repeat the same comment, so I did the same. By the way? Poo bear can get fucked. I'm just saying that despite it being an official safety body, this is the kinda thing a drunk redneck would think up.

And how would you get tankie from a comment making fun of a Chinese institution?

[-] Hotznplotzn@lemmy.sdf.org 0 points 11 months ago

I didn't mean to offend anyone, but this is a research center.

[-] Sturgist@lemmy.ca 1 points 11 months ago

I'm not offended, well...a bit offended that you thought I was a wankie-tankie.

It might be a research centre, but this idea is absolutely bonkers.
