Except in these, there are no fucking handles. So, even if you tried. Nope. No power no open. And with the hardened glass that would normally allow a rescuer to just shatter a window… Nope.
It’s called a fail safe the clue is in the name. The failure mode of a mechanism is it’s safe mode.
In cars with mechanical locks they require power to be in the locked position in the unlocked position a solenoid loses power and a mechanical spring pulls it into the unlocked position. So when it fails and loses power the default is to unlock. Sure the mechanism could become damaged and bent out of shape but we’re talking about a sliding bolt here, something that can be manipulated with a mechanical lever like a key.
That’s pretty normal in a car crash, no? The frame crumples and the doors often get stuck.

Enjoy dying in a fire.
Yeah, facts would be useful here, rather than speculation
Maybe the lack of mechanical latch is to blame but we don’t know that yet

Cars unlock the doors during a crash and this has been the standard for quite some time.
