No, it’s documented. Thoroughly. It’s just that it’s a new car and the guy assumed there were no changes, and he didn’t check, and his son didn’t tell him. End

No, it’s documented. Thoroughly. It’s just that it’s a new car and the guy assumed there were no changes, and he didn’t check, and his son didn’t tell him. End of story.
Also, this is an adult. With grownish children. They are
old enough to know the risk of OPENING THE DRIVERS DOOR AT 70 MPH, and it is no one’s responsibility to account for that, and the guy should know by now that even if it worked 10,000,000,000 times before, it is inherently risky and dangerous, and it will always be inherently risky and dangerous.
Like, the risk to reward ratio here is categorically insane. Use a cup, or maybe die? And they chose maybe die? And that’s a problem with the car? Huh?
- Lanolderen 3y agoI don't see it being that dangerous. He's likely just pushing it slightly open with his left forearm automatically and taking his eyes off the road just for the second he needs to spit his tobacco out. If something happens the moment he stops actively pushing the wind will close it and he's likely strapped with a seatbelt so it's not like he can somehow fall out. I've had to re-close my door at speed multiple times on old vehicles because I didn't close it hard enough and it was never sketchy in any way. Doing literally anything on a touchscreen takes more attention. And the documented part is BS. People don't read their owners manuals and even if they did it'd usually say not to open the door in motion, not that it will slam the brakes if you do. Even if it does it's unrealistic to expect people to read the manual of every car they drive. Rentals would go out of business real quick.
