It’s about hitting electric cars, self driving or otherwise.

Cars can still move with punctured tires, at least far enough that a would-be robber or carjacker could get dragged a good distance.

You smash the window and open the door. Now the panicked driver is speeding away, leaving you high and dry or dragging you along.
Being able to completely immobilize a vehicle while keeping it intact is a criminal’s wet dream. It’s incumbent on car manufacturers to consider that while implementing safety features.

It’s been a reality for over a decade.

My point is that plugging in a charging cable is way down the list of attacker tools.

Sure, but it’s on the list.
If it saves even one human life it’s worth switching to an alarm instead of immobilization, even if that means hundreds of breakaway cables get snapped by morons driving away from chargers.

What if hundreds of lives are lost due to broken cables snapped by morons driving away from chargers?
