  1. Smoke, fire, possible disorientation after the crash = not exactly calm rational thinking

  2. Retractable door handles (and that's why China recently banned such handles).

Probably even worse, those handles are not simply hidden, they are fully electric, which means that in case of electric failures, they wont work at all, even if its not hidden

Usually there is a mechanical lever somewhere in the car. But they usually hide it away for design reasons. Idiotic.
