(Author here.) I have seen videos (not on trains) of one hybrid - a power-operated round sliding door, but with a physical lock on it, that hooks onto the door frame. So that would be one option.
I think the current iteration is fine though - the replacement of the confusing "lock button" with the physical handle, even if emulated, is comprehensible to most, I would think. The "the door is now locked" voiceover also helps reassure people. (Most people are just trying to lock the door and not "fuzz test" the lock handle...)
- lukan 3y agoAh, you were the author as well. Have you noticed anyone from the train company about this flaw? (not saying that much would come out of it, but I think one should try)
- zilti 3y agoI've just way too often seen these fake-physical locks be broken, or working in an unexpected way (with a fucking explanatory sticker with three lines of text explaining it). Who signs off on such crap?
