    There’s a release latch on the doors beside the “open door” buttons. I guess no I’ve else is pointing that out?

      Pretty sure thats on the inside of the car and is actually covered as well. Release latch means shit in this situation, especially since car door design was more or less perfected over a hundred years ago at this point. Change for the sake of change is a damndable concept for tech.

        I’ve had a couple of passengers open the door using the latch because they didn’t know about the Open Door button.

        I’m not saying it’s a good design (it’s dumb) but you can get out when there is no power

        obviously inside as putting it outside would make thieves job significantly easier.
        you can still break a window to pull it if there’s an emergency like with basically all other cars

          No, with basically all other cars you can just unlock and open the doors with a physical key and a physical handle. That’s the next step in an emergency when the electronic locks fail, not fucking breaking through the fucking windows.
