    which is so stupid, who would break in your car at 20kmh?

    I always thought the opposite would make much more sense, locking doors when you’re below 10kmh and unlocking once driving

    Firefighters always struggle more to open locked doors (duh) as much as I hate those, I don’t think it’s something specific to it.

            The doors still stay locked when you stop. At least for mine the doors don’t unlock again until you put it park. They just lock when you start moving because the vehicle moving is a good indication that you don’t need the doors unlocked anymore.

            That’s all bullshit of course. Cars lock the doors when going above a certain speed for the first time and the airbag control module always sends a crash signal across the various can buses during an airbag deployment event that is used by various other control units for example to unlock the doors or kill the gas pump. My twenty year old Audi had that

        That sounds like a design problem that could be solved. At least for the whole doing wholly accidentally, me pulling the door handle because I’m stimming not withstanding.

          What I learned about design decisions, especially in IT, is that there’s a reason why things are designed the way they are. Before proposing an entirely new solution to problems that can be seen due to the current design, I’ve learned to try to understand first. Only tech bros will reinvent trains or build Cybertrucks.
