EV Startup Files Explosive Patent for a Self-Destruct System

Imagine if your car understood that it was about to endure a catastrophic collapse, the sort that might lead to harm to you and other occupants, or maybe structures or homes? And before driving itself to a location to meet with its destructive end — imagine if your car used that information to alert you to evacuate? If this seems like science fiction, as far as we are aware of it still is, but electric-car startup NIO is definitely thinking about this kind of subject, according to a patent it filed back into 2017 to get a “Self-destruct zone and autonomous vehicle navigation” protocol.

At this time you’ll note that the patent filed by NIO, that again then went from the name NextEV, isn’t to get a system. This ’s because, per NIO’s filing with the United States Patent Office, the expression “self-destruct” is used to spell out an electric automobile ’s impending, self-catalyzed catastrophic loss. Think of thermal runaway in the battery (like exactly what a restricted number of Teslas and other EVs have suffered lately ), or even a enormous power error, instead of a user pressing a large red button which initiates an ominous countdown and, eventually, a remarkable burst.
