In the New Year's Day attack in New Orleans, the vehicle used was an electric F-150 Lightning, marking a significant shift in vehicle attack tactics.
The emergence of heavy, quick-accelerating electric vehicles like the F-150 Lightning poses new challenges to public safety infrastructure designed to prevent vehicular attacks.
Experts are concerned that as pedestrian safety advocates increase their calls for infrastructure changes, perpetrators might deliberately choose EVs for their destructive potential.
The attack highlights the need for a reevaluation of urban design and security measures in light of the increasing presence of electric vehicles.
