Right, that's the function of the battery post which has the explosives in it to kill the power to the motor... yet leave the accessories powered on a severe impact. I wouldn't doubt that the gas cover could pop open... but also the rescue folks now look for the QR code to know the specs of any special things they need to know (which i think is a surprise that it took so long to get).
