So we can start car engines with the push of a remote button, we can open car windows with remotes, but doors are an issue? Are we absolutely sure we're evolving in the right direction?
If your windows don't open, you don't burn to death when the stored energy equivalent of a couple hundred sticks of dynamite under you catches fire. Doors should ABSOLUTELY be obvious, direct, mechanical and reliable, and it's INSANE we even have to have this discussion in 2026. This is Engineering 101 stuff.
