As someone who used to work on other people's cars, I think I've had my knees jammed into the dash way too many times to ever want this on one of my cars. Fuck that.

You mean due to the risk of accidentally hitting a button that sets the seat to a short position while you drive?

Nope, I mean due to them being automatic when you start the car, and linked to the "driver comfort" profile stored in the key.

As soon as you start the car the seat starts cramming your knees into the dash if it happens to belong to a shorter person. And of course, there's no sign in the car that the owner is short because the seat moves all the way back when you turn the car off.

/Rant (sorry, the real problem in my opinion is that there isn't a resistance/safety sensor that stops the whole thing)

Uhh isn’t that why the keys, and some cars have a valet mode? Take the key out of the fob dude.

Yeah lemme just disassemble Karen's custom leather key fob cover, lol.

Most can be done with a key combo dude on the fob itself.
