holy crap, their doors won't open without power?!?

How does that ever get past safety standards?

[rad_gruchalski]

Because the legislation doesn’t require that. And they want even less legislation. I mean, how does one even come up with a car made out of stainless steel with edges sharp like knives.

Legislation couldn't have foreseen a future where such basic features were depending on having power. Yet here we are.

[rad_gruchalski]

The European legislation works just fine. The problem is not lack of said legislation.

Rules made long before anyone would come up with electric-only doors outside a sci-fi fantasy. (OT how many "try to push open that deactivated door" does Star Trek have power episode, on average?)

because there's a second manual lever that does work without power
