I'm going to admit being wrong about this after looking into it further. I saw a video of a Rivian's protection against a similar problem. I wasn't drawing the distinction of manually closing vs. automatically closing.

I will say that the automatically closing Tesla trunks I've seen won't crush someone if you get in its way. The video in question implies it would crush anything in the path of the hood when they actually found a very particular unprotected spot. But, Rivian for example does protect against this happening at that particular location, so it's still a fair criticism.
