      I think there’s a special kind of irony in you linking to a video that doesn’t even cover the backseats’ manual override in response to my comment.

      Also, these are all separate mechanisms - all physical door releases should be part of the standard door release - possibly requiring you to pull the action further… but I’d also be happy with just making electronic releases illegal.
