The problem is this bullshit was allowed on the road in the first place.
Oh cool, we should start looking into shit that matters.
Being able to quickly get out of a burning car is important. If you only ever use the electronic door handle and your electrical system is damaged by...the fire, then you are much more likely to burn. The same problem exists on the outside of the car as rescuers have a harder time getting in to save people.
Getting stuck outside of the car in the winter is also pretty common when there is not a good place to grab when the door is covered in ice.
Car manufacturers have been making normal door handles for forever. Tesla 'fixed' something that wasn't broken.
There are billions of us. We can do many things at once.
This may not matter as much as nuclear disarmament, but it matters to everyone that owns one of these cars.
Wtf is "willingness to work from design-first principles"? Do Wired realize that the form of the handle follows the function of designing for better aerodynamics?
