  There are billions of us. We can do many things at once.

  This may not matter as much as nuclear disarmament, but it matters to everyone that owns one of these cars.

  Being able to quickly get out of a burning car is important. If you only ever use the electronic door handle and your electrical system is damaged by…the fire, then you are much more likely to burn. The same problem exists on the outside of the car as rescuers have a harder time getting in to save people.

  Getting stuck outside of the car in the winter is also pretty common when there is not a good place to grab when the door is covered in ice.

    I was more talking shit on news organizations. Agreed, that should be no brainer legislation that already exists, similar to fire code in buildings.
