Always amazed to see that when anyone complains that a feature is inherently dangerous they get an indignant response that that is how it's meant to work.
Yes, I'm aware what a feature is. It's still inherently dangerous. It needs to be fixed.

Lots of issues in Australia with kids being locked in cars in hot sun.
Primary issue is adults automatically locking the car when they get out, because automatic is how people operate
They then recall that their kid is in the car and unlock it. And after 30 seconds (while they go indoors) the car AUTOMATICALLY relocks the car with the kid inside.
From the AA with regard to using escape tools.
Luckily, these types of accidents are rare β in 2017 there were an estimated 8,000 crashes where a vehicle became partially or fully submerged
During testing, AAA researchers found that only four of the tools were able to shatter the tempered glass and none were able to break the laminated glass, which stayed intact even after being cracked.
