So, on the new vette, and some other cars, the door "handles" are really just touchpad's that activate the door latches....
Are they going to "instaban" the Z06 and other Vette's? Basicly they just have shaved door handles if you think about it. (The door opening "keypad" or button is just where the door handle should be....)
I notice GM is using this on many rear hatches and gates too. Sure will suck to try and unlock these when the power is cut after an accident.
Of course, the local hose draggers have been very ambitious lately about cutting power to wrecked cars. I've noticed more axe damage than normal, especially on the hybrid vehicles. They must be using a power isolated fiberglass axe handle, and are just chopping the hood open, then cutting power to the vehicle by cutting the positive cable(s) In a few cases, I've seen the axe breaking or otherwise damaging the plastic intakes and valve covers common on many new cars. (Of course the ones that were on fire, and have neat-o axe imprints on alloy intakes and valve covers made soft by the fire are pretty cool..) Think flaming mustangs = interesting axe damage.
