I assume they’re giving it a shakedown as a consumer device before attempting to slap it in a car. It looks like the original company is claiming to succeed where Apple has failed in creating a good multi position charger. I’m curious what

A big company being responsible for a crash is best case scenario. You would much rather sue Mercedes than Joe Shmoe for an accident, no doubt. They've got deep pockets, and your local courts are not particularly friendly to them
