I had the funniest attempt at getting into the Sag the other day.

A friend's younger cousin attempted to slide unlock the door like an iphone.

I had to go change myself after I had stopped laughing, but in all fairness it was one of the more ingeniuos ways that I had seen. The older generation tend to look for a lever or something mechanical to turn or pull. My generation tends to look for a button or something to press or touch. So it is interesting to see what the younger generation will attempt to do in future.

Who knows, maybe one day someone will add slide locking to their cars. But until then, whenever someone asks me "how do you open the door?"
I will think of that girl standing there thumbing the door and window and smile


What funny or clever attempts to get into your car have you had?

I had a complete nutter the other day get out of his car at a set of traffic lights and was screaming at me into the window. Proper smack head lunatic. He was trying to figure out how to get into the car/looking for a door handle but couldn't figure it out.! He ended up wandering back to his car without trying to stab me.......which was nice.

Hmm, I don't think this would be too difficult to implement, although I would
not be happy with just a touch sensitive system due to security. Possible
fingerprint or RFID system would be better...

No, not going to implement, just musing...

Oh, I thought that Klingons were the result of being a passenger in a modified Chimaera??

If I remember right one or more of the early Cerbera concept cars had a sort of touch sensitive door button more or less where you'd expect a handle to be. Presumably PW decided that wasn't quite bizarre enough. smile
