  That’s for if you’re inside, a mechanical access has to exist on the outside as well, no?

    No. You just need to be able to exit without power. Getting back in mechanically isn’t a requirement.

    It should be, but it’s not.

      Damn, even fighter jets have an external override. They’re even labeled for rescue workers.

        I don’t know who Jettison Canopy is but I hope he’s around when you need to do this.

        A car window is a lot easier to shatter than a fighter jet canopy.

    You can also “jump” the car to open it via a 12V access port in the front.

      Yeah, doesn’t help much in case of actual emergency does it?

        Then break the fucking window if it’s an actual emergency.

  Those are inside the car, doesn’t help if there’s a toddler stuck in the car.
