Why though? Do we really need a pattern of strikes or could we just hold the biggest military in the world to a slightly higher standard? Why equivocate away responsibility to 'oh it could have been private so and so who murdered 100+ school children. Shrug.'.

If avoiding the collision with the robot increases the risk of colliding with a human the right thing to do is plow right into that robot. Same as if an animal surprised you directly in front of your vehicle. If you swerve you are taking on risk that you don't need to.

A good reason to care about accessing the car from the outside with and without power is if say you left your dog or child in it with 'dog mode' running and it stops for whatever reason.

It'd be nice if you or any passerby could easily open the door without any thought don't you think?

With all due respect you are quite incorrect.

Most people think and do use for to protect themselves from threats like all humans.

The issue was bringing the US style castle doctrine defence argument where some folks feel that since the intruder is trespassing they have carte blanche to murder them.

Some cars if you don't plug in the block heater you can damage the alternator and at that point the car can't start on its own.

Depending how bad it is the car may not run very long without the alternator either.
