One should always keep a tool in the car in reach to use to break the windows in case of emergency. I am not sure mechanical hardware is less likely to fail than software. For example, ford recalled door latches for a mechanical problem - https://media.ford.com/content/fordmedia/fna/us/en/news/2015/05/01/ford-expands-door-latch-safety-recall-in-north-america.html https://media.ford.com/content/fordmedia/fna/us/en/news/2015... what is worse is my friend can't get the door latch replaced on her ford because "the part's on backorder."
