Yeah, thats the problem. Several car makers can't be manually manipulated when closed, especially when the battery is disconnected.
Right, which is why I'm surprised the solution is posited as "no more recessed door handles" rather than "failsafe mechanical mechanism". Either something is missing here, there was a failure of imagination from the author, or it was disingenuous framing.
