Rivian Redesigns EV Doors for Enhanced Safety

Rivian Redesigns EV Doors for Enhanced Safety

Rivian, a car company, is changing the way its car doors work.

Some people were worried that it was hard to open the doors if the car lost power, like in a crash.

Now, they're making it easier to open the doors from the inside in an emergency.

The new design, in the R2 SUV, will have a manual door release that's easier to find and use.

This change is in response to concerns about the existing design where the manual release was not easily accessible.

The goal is to make sure people can get out of the car safely, no matter what happens.

The company says safety is their top priority.
