See, this is one of the things that drive me batty with so much new hardware.
With an old car, if this happened you’d get warnings. If a door is open your car would warn you and beep occasionally. It was still an entirely functional car.
But now… cars won’t warn you, they stop you. It doesn’t even feel like my car at that point.
But if you get in an accident and somehow blame the manufacturer then they could be liable, better to just stop you then risk lawsuits.
The US lawsuit happy culture lead to this imo
Another stooge who’s swallowed the corporate propaganda of frivolous lawsuits.
Maybe other car companies will go to this but, well, they arent doing this right now. So it would seem that the every other car company did the calculus and they are not concerned about lawsuit risks in this regard.
