A Bloomberg Originals video about the electronic door-release design on Tesla vehicles and the safety concerns it raises. It looks at what happens when a convenience-driven redesign of a basic physical control becomes hard to operate in an emergency.

HN people post it as a watch-worthy look at the safety problem with Tesla's door handles, and cite it in threads about how car door handles have evolved.
