race cars (and tanks and submarines - closed areas with high chance of fire and/or catastrophic consequences of fire) have automated fire suppression system. I wonder if EVs need to have one too. Right now the EV fires in the accidents call for memories of 196x movies where ICE cars would burst on fire in accidents. It was solved for ICE cars and need to be solved for EVs too - looking at those accidents, specifically at the damage from impact and thus related speed/etc. - it seems that the fire killed the people not the impact itself (i myself been in an accident in a regular ICE car where front of the car got smashed while we inside, being seatbelted of course, got only bruises, and if the car burst into flames the outcome would be completely different)
