Because it's been tested to be way safer than other batteries.

That means it's generally safer in theory because it more chemically stable.
Practical test results confirm this, and damage that will make other batteries burn explosively, merely makes this battery warm.
But it's not 100% safe, there have been accidents that shouldn't have happened, but did anyway. This is being investigated, and it is still considered significantly safer than competing batteries.
Is true, that's cool.
Probably not the type of car I would ever buy. I heard the patent is about to expire so that's great. Not that I understand why the western world would care about Chinese parents. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
