How many supersized Americans can fit through a fully opened car window
these days?
Hi
Once the car fills with water, the door will open with
little effort ( unless damaged ).
It is rare that the battery becomes in-operative.
The switch to turn off the other windows is a good point,
though. It might be a good idea to have cars automatically
roll the windows down after a small delay when an airbag
is fired.
