"And it will automatically switch to park if the car is stopped, the drivers door is opened and the driver's seatbelt is removed" What do you mean by removed?

  What do you mean by removed Sorry, bad choice of words -- "unfastened". And isn't it a personal safety issue if the door unlocks everytime you stop? I've never seen a car that unlocks the doors automatically when stopped, only when placed into park. I'm not sure what personal safety issue you're referring to, but if you're talking about a carjacking, if someone opens your door at a stoplight and unbuckles your seatbelt (or forces you to do so), I don't see how it's any less safe for you if your car shifts into Park automatically -- less chance that it will run you over when you're pulled from the car.

    I'm confused. "And it will automatically switch to park if the car is stopped" So it switches to park when you stop, and by extension unlocks the door and unfastens your seat belt. Which doesn't match: "I've never seen a car that unlocks the doors automatically when stopped, only when placed into park" But then we do still seem to be talking about the car shifting to park you stop. " I don't see how it's any less safe for you if your car shifts into Park automatically". And a seatbelt unbuckling automatically whatever the situation seems like a massive anti-feature to me. Edit: I get it. If (stopped && door_unlocked && seatbelt_unfastened) switch_to_park(); Not If (stopped){ unlockdoor(); unfasten_seatbelt(); park();} Language is hard :)
