Not quite the ideal thing to have in a real world car. For example, what happens after a little accident leaves an opening in the hull of such a battery? Or creates some more pressure than needed here and there?
Probably safer than current ev batteries
Not at all.
Why? Solid state batteries don't use a flammable electrolyte
The electrolyte isn't the only flammable material in lithium cells.
No, but it's the difference between solid state and lithium cells. There's still a fire risk with solid state, but then there's a fire risk with ICE. It just needs better engineering like they've done with current ev batteries
