This is supposedly a EV battery ejection system to make battery fires easier to control. Pedestrians and cyclists had best say goodbye to their lower legs.

Are all batteries incendiary?
More or less. Batteries store electricity with a reversible chemical reaction, and one of those reactions is oxidation. It isn’t exactly true to say a battery generates electricity by burning its cathode, but because it requires elements that can readily oxidize with a lot of energy, it’s not tough for that oxidation to turn into fire if something goes wrong.
