Yes, that part of the article struck me as a real head-scratcher. This kind of "engineering" is becoming all too common in the auto industry, even among companies that have been around for decades and should know better.
For instance, the battery in the new-generation Porsche 911 is in the front trunk... which can only be opened electrically.
WTF, people? Are all the smart guys and gals working for Google these days, or something?
