#which is actually worse than the hypothetical i described!! u dont even get an option to open the passenger side!!

one bit of car related regulation i feel like should already exist because its super fucking common sense is that if your car has fancy schmancy electronic handles you NEED to have manual releases on Every Door, and they should be easily visible (even if u wanna stylize them). theres a Lotta Other Things i would want to see regulated with cars too of course, but jesus fucking christ at least this?

tesla is one of the poster childs for this (depending on the model issues are like electronic doors, the release is hidden bc Aesthetics and you gotta consult the manual, its FRONT SEATS only so good luck back seats!!!) but they aint the only ones pulling this shit and. idk i feel like if for example the car catches on fire or st and the electronic doors fail, i would prefer if children in the back seat have some easy method of getting out?

"press this big button on the door sweetie" as opposed to "okay so according to the manual its gonna be somewhere around here and its like a little pull thing hidden under the carpet an- oh found it!! okay its front seats only so sweetie we're gonna have to fold down the seats to let you out, an-okay you cant find the passwnger release uhhh okay everyone out of the drivers side door!!!"
