Is this the pinnacle of safety features Tesla or....

[–] OwOarchist@pawb.social 19 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Volvo, probably. If I had to pick one manufacturer who's always been on the leading edge of safety.

As for Tesla, I wouldn't consider "lock all the doors when the car catches on fire" to be a very good safety feature.

Volvo Cars is majority owned by Chinese company Geely. Perhaps not 'Western' anymore

But Geely actually gave Volvo money unlike when Ford had stake in Volvo.

Irony? yes,. safety, no.
