Should just ship it with the battery disconnected
Or just install a switch on it. I guess that's too high tech for startup bros to figure out how to do, though.
Even my electric lawn mower has a fusible link (it's actually a mini circuit breaker) that is designed such that you can yank it out, as a child safety feature. No fusible link installed, no power to the motor.
For just about any other case, I would say thats a great solution, but EUCs are self-balancing devices. A switch would be a potential failure point, and experiencing a power loss at speed would likely result in serious injury.
So you trust a software switch more. One that's not under your control and is theoretically subject to bugs, and can be demonstrably manipulated remotely.
Makes sense to me.
Yeah, fair enough honestly
