NiMH batteries are safe, Lithium and Lithium-Ion batteries however have such a dangerous chemistry that they are on the DOT prohibited material list. It can literally burn and explode without any additional ingredient from the outside, just like conventional explosive. In fact, the USPS and many other parcel carriers wouldn't even allow shipment of Lithium-Ion battery overseas for fear of fire and explosion in-flight. Whose brilliant idea was it to take something that DOT only allows 25grams in passenger flight (that's about 0.05 pound), and pack several hundreds of pounds of the stuff and put it in a car? In a multi-car pile up, standard fire fighting may well cause a car with lithium-ion batteries to explode! assuming it has not exploded already during the crash.
BTW, regarding how safe gasoline can be for transportation purpose, if need to be, gas tanks internally lined with rubber bladder can stand up to repeated machine-gunning without catching fire or exploding. That became the standard-issue aircraft fuel tank for many countries more than half a century ago.
