Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.

4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.

7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link.

It's to prevent you from accidentally opening the door.
It’s more to keep you from being carjacked than for accidental door openings.
yes protect me from being carjacked at speed
That's all bullshit of course. Cars lock the doors when going above a certain speed for the first time and the airbag control module always sends a crash signal across the various can buses during an airbag deployment event that is used by various other control units for example to unlock the doors or kill the gas pump. My twenty year old Audi had that
The doors still stay locked when you stop. At least for mine the doors don't unlock again until you put it park. They just lock when you start moving because the vehicle moving is a good indication that you don't need the doors unlocked anymore.
the automatic transmission cars ive driven that were similar locked when you took it out of park
I still can open the doors from inside, just not from outside
That sounds like a design problem that could be solved. At least for the whole doing wholly accidentally, me pulling the door handle because I'm stimming not withstanding.
What I learned about design decisions, especially in IT, is that there's a reason why things are designed the way they are. Before proposing an entirely new solution to problems that can be seen due to the current design, I've learned to try to understand first. Only tech bros will reinvent trains or build Cybertrucks.
Agreed, I should e specified that I meant old school pull handles for the inside of the car. Like what 90s and early 00s Toyotas had.
Children are a design problem
