The Electric Door Tesla Made Famous Is Now a Danger in Other Cars

Описание: Elon Musk wanted Tesla Inc.’s electric door handles to embody the future — sleek, seamless and emblematic of the cool he envisioned plug-in cars would come to personify.

He succeeded: In just over a decade, handles that function at a touch have become hallmarks of modern automotive design, replicated from Detroit to Shenzhen as automakers raced to borrow Tesla’s aesthetic.

Now some drivers and industry analysts say this much-imitated style is proving to be a safety hazard. Electric doors are locking people out of their cars or — even worse — making it harder for them to exit, even after a crash. In some cases, the outcome has been deadly.

Bloomberg's Craig Trudell joins to discuss with Paul Sweeney and Kristine Aquino.
