New cars have automatic window up functions but strictly dont apply enough pressure to choke a child
Comment on DoorDashers are getting paid to close Waymo's self-driving car doors
toynbee@lemmy.world 3 weeks agoI used to have a Tesla (traded it in). In the app you could open, but not close, the windows. It could be inconvenient at times but I assume the reasoning was similar.

Mine goes up automatically and if it encounters resistance, it goes back down again. I guess this is too hard for Tesla.

IIRC people were testing cybertrucks for some auto-closing functionality, and if they encountered resistance, they would back off… Then try harder, slicing through hotdogs

I saw carrots being sheared like nothing from the cybertruck.

Still hurts like hell though… from someone who once accidentally rolled up the window BEFORE pulling my head in. :-D

That’s weird. Most of the cars I have had can open and close the windows from the fob. (Usually double press then hold unlock or lock, though one car I had [Accord] required the key in the door for the windows to go up.)

Right - I think the difference is that, when using a fob, you’re likely within line of sight or at least nearby your car and so presumably could observe or otherwise check for car occupants, but so long as your car and phone both have reception you can use the app from anywhere without any clue who might be in or around the car.
