This is part of the Euro NCAP standard:
> Automatic Door Locking (ADL): System in the vehicle whereby the door
latches automatically lock once the vehicle has reached a certain speed. They
should also automatically unlock in the event of an accident, post impact.

They also have a section for electric retractable door handles (5.3), including
> It is assumed that by design the door handles will extend outwards ready for use when the SRS system deploys any airbag/detects a severe impact or the door handle remains in its retracted position but can be grabbed nevertheless by the first responder without any tool.
I wonder if Tesla's don't do this? Or if it didn't in this case?
- BrandoElFollito 1y ago"should" as in "recommended"? (I am not a native speaker of English)
- 3D30497420 1y agoHonestly, not sure. I think this is open to interpretation (and maybe is clarified elsewhere in their documentation). Euro NCAP is a voluntary assessment program, so I believe all of these are just recommendations that will impact a vehicles scoring rather than mandatory safety standards.
