Greetings and a question
#41
US regulators consider doors that remain locked from the inside to be a death trap. That's why that feature is disabled on North American models.
In the UK and other parts of the world, regulators consider the ability to prevent a car thief from simply breaking the driver's window to open the door from the inside to outweigh the risk of someone being trapped inside and unable to open the door to escape.
I don't understand how anyone can value property over life. What am I missing?

I would think for the same reason our cars have only one back up light, the one on the left is a fog light, which when lit, shows a bright red, even though it is a white lens like the backup light on the right.
European reasoning is that it is better to be seen, than to see.
It would be more logical, at least to me, that Jaguar in its' design could have done both. At least that is what one would expect in a $70,000 + car.

Can someone explain the logic behind double locking a door? Why would you prevent anyone from getting out of the car? Serious question. Is this a child safety thing? Had it on other cars but the control was from the drivers door and locked the rear passenger doors so kids could open but as soon as you opened the driver door, the doors unlocked. I don't understand the ability to use it via remote. Seems like a death trap.

If the choice didn't exist and the door always double-locked, I'd agree with you that property was being valued over life. But it isn't.
