China Is Banning Tesla-Style Retractable Door Handles over Safety Concerns

Actually nice to see this kind of common-sense regulation.

The risk-reward ratio associated with retractable door handles is absurdly skewed. On the one hand, you can get locked in a burning and extremely flammable car if you're involved in any kind of traffic accident. On the other hand, you get a literally imperceptible improvement to aerodynamics and range. Retractable handles just seem extremely stupid in a trivially obvious way.

Apple is generally my goto for form over function. Or even beauty over function. Generally, I don't want regulators making design decisions, but this might be a good example where safety risk really outweighs sleekness.

Common sense tech regulation from non ameri-centric societiy is becoming too common. While we (US) are trying to hoard chat bot technology, the rest of the world is hoarding solar, EV, and agricultural tech useful for their survival and ability to flourish in a resource poor world; instead we strive to eliminate jobs while turning water and electricity into text and photoshopped videos.
