Sadly, the vehicles that are becoming more stable from having a low center of gravity, that is to say your typical EV, have terrible braking distances due to their increased mass. The Tesla Model 3 has a stopping distance that's longer than a Ford F150's.
Aptera is evidently half the mass of a Model 3 so will be interesting to see what the braking distance is on that one.
