In today’s Big Story podcast, everyone knows that in order to save the planet, electric vehicles need to replace internal combustion engines. And it’s happening, at a more rapid pace than we might have expected. But something else is happening, too: As companies race to grab market share in the EV space, they are replicating recent trends that have made fuel-powered cars more dangerous to everyone not inside them. And since EVs are even heavier than traditional vehicles, that could be very bad news for pedestrians.
