    If it were any other company I would be thrilled. With Samsung, this is going to be internet enabled, you’ll need an app to turn your car on and off, and it’ll probably play ads at high volumes constantly while driving.

      I know you jest, but Samsung is a massive battery supplier.

      These will be plain old dumb batteries

        I am 100% certain that Samsung is currently in litigation regarding exactly this kind of thing at this very moment. These companies have massive arms for corporate espionage and the like, and because of patent laws, it’s always worth spending time and money protecting your tech.

      Wait, which company had their battery blowing up ? And were not safe for flight. If these battery blew up then it would be devastating.

        Are solid state batteries having issues with catching fire? I thought that was liquid batteries? Or is this just like saying everything bad that ever happened with lithium ion batteries will happen with everything else?

          It was just a joke, ffs.

          Samsung devices & appliances are notoriously prone to catastrophic failure - as a matter of fact, I actually had a Samsung TV melt itself - which turns out is a common issue (Google “Samsung tv melting corner”).

          Then there’s the Samsung battery fire issues, Samsung refrigerator safety lawsuits, etc.
