Predictive Airbags Meet Predictable Executives

from Kilowatt: A Podcast about Electric Vehicles · host 918Digital

In this episode of Kilowatt, we dive into the latest developments shaking up the electric vehicle market, starting with Tesla's surprising decision to open Model S Signature Edition orders in Europe. We also examine the regulatory landscape as the NHTSA updates rules allowing the upcoming Tesla Cybercab to ditch brake pedals entirely, alongside new details on its strict weight limits and recent sightings in New Zealand. Safety and legal battles take center stage as we break down Tesla's recent settlement over a fatal Full Self-Driving crash in Texas and look at a groundbreaking feature that uses vehicle cameras to deploy airbags before an impact even occurs.
