Unlike the radical ejection solution, fire blanket technology adopts a “suppression” strategy. It creates a fire-resistant barrier around the battery pack, preventing oxygen from entering and suppressing the spread of flames.

The advantages of this solution are clear:

No secondary risks: It does not create new hazards.

Mature technology: It has been validated through multiple tests.

Cost-effective: Easy to promote and adopt across the industry.

Serves the core goal: Buys valuable time for occupant escape and fire rescue operations.

Industry Consensus: Safety Cannot Rely on “Idealized” Solutions Alone
Currently, the global automotive industry has reached a consensus: fire blanket coverage is a more realistic, safer, and more responsible mainstream safety technology. It directly addresses the core safety need of “buying time for escape” without requiring solutions to complex ethical and social problems.

Meanwhile, battery ejection remains a bold concept, still in the conceptual or extremely niche stage, with a long road ahead before large-scale commercial application.

Future Outlook: Gradual Progress and Breakthroughs in Safety Technology
Although fire blanket technology currently dominates the mainstream, this does not mean the automotive industry has stopped exploring more advanced safety solutions. In the future, we may see further upgrades to fire blanket technology, or we may witness the application of battery ejection technology after overcoming its numerous obstacles.

However, regardless of the path, the evolution of safety technology must be based on reliability and the absence of衍生 risks. This is the only responsible attitude toward consumers and the public.
