The deadlock is not activated when the doors are locked from the inside. The telematics center apparently sent a command to activate the deadlock as if it were locked from the outside. He may have been able to open the doors if he knew how the system works.

What happens if the control chip gets fried in a lightning storm and the output pin that controls the lock gets stuck high? No software will save you from that.

- throwaway7767 10y agoWhat a silly thing to be pedantic about. It doesn't change anything - the output could get stuck at either state. Moreover, it was meant as an easily understood example. Can you really not envision a software bug that would lock someone in the car? The point is, the mechanical design should allow the occupant to get out, regardless of any fault in the electronics or software.
