This is supposedly a EV battery ejection system to make battery fires easier to control. Pedestrians and cyclists had best say goodbye to their lower legs.

Erecting?

I sat here for a good two minutes trying to find something witty and funny to say Finally all I really want to do is tell you that you used the wrong word.

Could be worse.

In my job they send a copy of all the health and safety stuff to each employee once a year. Part of that is something about fire safety.

For some reason they didn't send me the German original version but the English translation instead.

In there it says that the fire safety officer alone is responsible for all erections.

We had a good laugh.

If you dig far enough Into Osha saftey documentation, you'll find a page where they advocate the use of a saftey wench.
