How is it "not remotely the same"?

In both cases the child is in the car and the door cannot be opened.

In my city, the fire department solves the problem by bashing out a window, just as in this case. I know this because that's what happened when a friend locked in her baby.

That seems more like "exactly the same" than "not remotely the same" to me.

I'll bet it happens dozens of times across the country every single day.

One is due to the carelessness of the driver. The other is due to a failure in the car.

You can't open the door if you don't have the key

You can't open the door if the battery is dead (or, presumably, the battery has removed by a would-be car thief).

I'm not sure why one of these is a "failure of the car" but not the other.

If the Tesla cars defaulted to "doors open" when the battery was dead/removed, people would be complaining about that.

In both cases, the end outcome is exactly the same: the window gets bashed out by the fire department.
