You know, it always puzzles me when some new technology gets slammed due to some remotely-possible safety problem, by people who blythely ride around in close proximity to 10 gallons or more of highly-flammable liquid fuel which is perfectly capable of turning their car into a blazing inferno if things go wrong. And it does happen, even if not with quite the regularlity that Hollywood chase scenes would have you expect :-) So why haven't we abandoned the internal combustion engine because of these issues?
