Default $1 billion BMS Ooops...

An uncontained battery failure is as bad as an uncontained engine failure (car, airplane, or glider). Any potentially unstable battery like most Lithium chemistries should be in a safety container that will either contain or exhaust the fire, explosion, or heat. I would feel a lot better if the batteries were in a sealed stainless box with appropriate vents to the outside of vehicle.
