Okeey dokey. Noted, don't get in an accident while riding in these. Also, hope no first responders get decapitated by the door springs.

What the heck is "appropriate PPE" for not being decapitated by a door spring, I wonder. 🤔 I suppose maybe it will only remove your kneecap or break your arm if it hits you?

I wonder how heavy these doors are... How buff do you need to be to get this sucker open manually?

"...The interior door handles of Cybercab have two detents, with the second detent acting as the emergency mechanical release. To open the Cybercab doors from the inside without low voltage power, completely lift the door handle to engage the mechanical release. Then, push the door outwards and upwards. The door will be heavy and will not remain open. The window may crack or break if still rolled up. Hold open or prop up the door so that the door doesn’t swing closed...."
