are these like motorized lambo doors now i really do not get this


Apparently there is no obvious physical lock, just the electronic lock/unlock button. So it went like this:
1. Eats at waffle house.
2. Walks outside and gets in car.
3. Power cable disconnect, car goes into fail-safe lock down mode.
4. Man valiantly tries to read the car manual.
5. Car expert shows up, decides car is impenetrable and man is already dead anyway.
6. Man dies.
7. Firefighters show up and smash a window.

If he waits long enough he can use his accrued interest from his savings to bring his negative checking balance back into the black.

The car has a door release under the seat or something dumb like that. It is more of a foolish design than anything.

why dont they just put the door release on the door, maybe mid height so that its easily accessable and make it some type of handle so anyone can open the door

He's pouring it on a car with a man trapped inside to cool him off. Making a better effort than the white dude.

the old man sits in his car, its interior baking in the hot sun, reading the manual trying to work out how to open the door, but he can’t, not without your help. and you’re not helping. Why is that?

even if he wasnt rich, the other purpose of old people is to dispense wisdom. i kinda doubt that a guy who got trapped inside his own car and died had much of that.
