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.

Another point: When those batteries get bad, don't they blow up? And wouldn't this make the battery jam in place?

If anything, the force will probably make it worse. Why not just kick the unstable, explosive battery that’s now stuck in place.

Dumb idea.

Yep. There is a lot of dumb in this design. I'd say some manager pissed his pants about his ass in an EV and demanded a solution... any solution.
