But it looks like the window has to roll down first to avoid damage. It looks to me like out of power, out of luck.

Damn. I'll put a stop to my patent application.

I guess they'll just have to put a lock on the hood that unlocks with your key.

Ah, wait, you did actually mean "hood" above.

Nah, they need to solve the door problem, regardless (so the hood latch can be in the car). It's not just a question of opening the hood; you also have to open the door anyway, unless you want to replace the battery when a simple jump would do. (And electrical failures more serious than a dead battery happen as well on occasion...)
