China has introduced a new vehicle safety standard that bans hidden or flush-mounted car door handles. The design, popularized by Tesla and used by many electric vehicle makers, will be prohibited because of concerns it can prevent rescuers or passengers from opening doors quickly after a crash.
The rule is part of a broader update to China's vehicle safety regulations. It specifically targets handles that are not immediately accessible in an emergency, aiming to address risks highlighted by several fatal accidents.
