Given the sensors in modern cars, would it be possible to detect submersion and roll down windows automatically?

- r0ckarong 3y agoCrack as in shatter? Possibly but I bet this would never be implemented because nobody wants the recall when suddenly every the car wash makes all of your expensive glass explode.
- eemil 3y agoCrack as in roll down a bit :D I edited my comment after realizing the potential confusion.
- HeyLaughingBoy 3y agoThat sounds even worse. Now you have water coming into the car at a much faster rate than before and you still can't get out. Better to just open the windows completely. If the window opening mechanism is still working, better to let the driver & passengers make the decision on whether or not to open them and when. If the mechanism isn't working, then the question is moot. The odds of (1) car driving into water * (2) person is incapacitated * (3) rescue is available and can access the car but can't open window have to be so low as to essentially never happen.
