>And gasoline fires and high speed collisions aren't?

Gasoline car fires are quite rarer in modern cars (don't know about the 1950s), and easier to put off than battery car fires.

And people are already afraid of high speed collisions, plus they are orthogonal of the energy technology used.

>Personal vehicles are by far the most dangerous apparatus with which we interact, already.

And under what framing does it make sense to use the above to argue in favor of adding a dangerous battery tech to them is thus not problematic?
