It allows them to be opened from the inside when you shift to park.
A whole lot of ******* and moaning bout nothing. Except for autostop/start the locks are set up for passengers safety not driver convenience. The autostop is for saving wasted fuel. Anyone noticed how quietly AND QUICKLY the auto start activates the engine and trans engagement?

Nope, I haven’t noticed because I turn it off upon each startup lol
I don't give a rat's ass about any of that. When I buy a car and spend that much money on it everything about it better be driver convenience. They have 10, 000 to $15,000 worth of extra add-ons all about technology and convenience? They want to give you Wi-Fi digital screens and tablets and power ports everywhere including up your you know what.
That's what test drives are all about! Most the stuff they built today is crap design anyways. Maybe 50 or 60% of it hits the mark but they come so far from doing a near-perfect job that they could do if they would listen to customer input and give us options.
I am the one who decides about passenger safety regarding when my doors are locked and unlocked not the auto manufacture. I am the one paying the bill to fill up the tank I will make that decision too about whether fuel is wasted or not and how much.
Me me me me me, yes because that's what it's all about when I'm going out there shopping for a new vehicle and they're trying to woo me to give them a huge amount of money.
So if I spend less money and don't pay a premium for a vehicle then they have the right to aggravate me by not giving me convenience features?? That's kind of loopy logic.
See 11 posts above and you will notice I mentioned that I get in a habit of pushing the button as I pull up to let people in or let people out. I do this whether the doors are locked or not because in all my Town Cars I disable the auto locks. My wife used to have an expedition and I never bothered to reprogram it so hers would always lock so when I was dropping off and picking up the kids I just push the button. Now she drives a Trailblazer and it's the same way. It's not a big deal like you mentioned. I never once complained about having to do it. I complained about a manufacturer not giving you the option to customize the vehicle to your particular way because you're the one that bought it and you should calling the shots.
Once again, I don't give a rat's ass about what studies show or what's safer.
I'm not going to have a vehicle manufacture forcing my doors to lock because it's safer. I will decide if I want the extra level of safety or not. Safety versus convenience, safety versus freedom, been a lot of comparisons over these over the past 200+ something years.
Actually, I've never bought a new vehicle and and almost certainly never will. Even if I were to have tons and tons of money to buy new and not even miss the money I would still buy one six months to a year old I let someone else take the hit on depreciation. I'm just a cheap bastard.
I can say that because I'm calling myself a cheap bastard but you coming in here and telling people that they're doing a lot of ******** and moaning which is basically calling them ******** and moaners and cry babies and not offering any suggestions as to what the original poster was asking, let me show you the door real quickly.
This is a forum where I come to relax, have fun, and make friends, I think others might agree with me but I certainly don't appreciate you're condescending, combative, or petty attitude or tone toward any of our members.
Care to elaborate or is making vague blanket statements just your thing?

Auto Start/Stop is also able to be disabled in Forscan to save you the trouble of hitting the button at each startup. I disabled mine within the first week of ownership and it has worked as desired.
I have made some changes in Forescan but left the ASS available so I can use it if needed. It’s literally just a switch right next to the emergency brake... I’ve hit that button so often that it’s now part of the normal start up procedure, it’s second nature at this point. I may use the ASS if I’m sitting in a drive through or something but where I live I don’t deal with any stop and go driving or red lights and four way stops don’t warrant the use of the ASS. Plus the ASS doesn’t save enough fuel for me to feel it’s worth using.
I tried disabling it on my ‘19, but got the message “Charging System Service Soon” every time I started the vehicle. I’ve worked with Forscan on it, but I haven’t got back with them since trying the last version that didn’t work. The ASS doesn’t bother my wife at all, and she’s the primary driver, so I haven’t made it a priority to figure it out lately. It worked perfectly disabling it on other ‘19 F150’s.
Your argument seems to be with the NTSB. The National Transportation Safety Board is the main control of these decisions. It has jurisdiction over the manufacturers in these safety related decisions. Humans may not always like what's safer but that's the way our ELECTED government works. Have a nice day.

Yes, with them, the government for Cafe standards, and the manufacturers for the entertainment and convenience that has nothing to do with safety.
We see that humans as a whole are stupid because every great civilization has eventually destroyed itself. Probably because most of them just can't get along and follow the smart person's idea.
Too many people have too many ideas and philosophies as to what's important and the problem is one of them either becomes mainstream or the law and it gets imposed on everyone else. No govt should have ever been able to force someone to wear a seatbelt in their car. They could have required airbags and auto seat belts to be in there but if a person chooses to disable them or cut them out they should never be able to make that illegal. You can try your best to make things safer for everyone and you can urge safety but you should never be able to force what you think is safety.

I can't quite tell if this post is satire or not. I assume not though.
What's wrong with mandatory seat belts? Or making people safer in general?

Following your thoughts weapons should then be allowed to be owned,carried and used indiscriminately by anyone, including youngsters and gangsters at any time in a way they would see fit. Sounds like the time of anarchy in the series called the PURGE. If safety is not cared for by elected government there is no safety and anarchy reigns supreme.

That’s why I have a license to carry a gun. It can be a 9mm up to AR15 in .308 or a pistol on me and the AR behind 3rd row seat. I see you’re from Texas so both of us can protect ourselves or protect others instead of being weak lambs like some other states want us to be....and the Expy is the perfect vehicle to carry more that one gun or different type weapons altogether. Let’s not be like lambs and let the wolves kill us or others.
You assume right.
Mandatory- is what's wrong.
You actually need to tell me that you think it's okay for the government to say you legally have to wear your seatbelt in your own car that you own that you buy and pay for? Health insurance that you choose to have or not that you pay for for your medical care. Everything about your life is your own responsibility. We allowed this crap to pass back in the early 80s and everyone's accepted it. It's not really a very big leap to assume the government might later try to force you to eat healthier. They certainly try to encourage enough.
What you put into your body and how you take care of it should be your business whether you put on a seatbelt to further take care of your body should also be your business.
Don't think I'm arguing that people should not wear seat belts or that they're not safer. I'm simply saying it's not the government's place.
Not quite there are always limits and everyone has different thresholds. I I am against magazine disconnect and manufacturers who put manual safeties on all their guns without the option to not have one.
Read my last post. Throwing caution to the wind with your own life and health and well-being is totally different than what you're describing with giving everyone guns and allowing them to use I them indiscriminately.
I have a feeling you and I would agree on very little and I'm completely okay with that. This is definitely not the world or the time that I should have lived in but I will continue to make my own decisions about my own life, safety, etc regardless of whether they're legal today or tomorrow or however they may change the rules in the future.
