Glad you're ok!
Not to make light of your story, but I don't see how ordinary non-automatic mechanical door locks would have been any better, presuming you lock your doors while driving which most people do or should do.
Either way, someone inside the car needed to unlock the doors, which you couldn't do acct of being unconscious.

Thanks for the well wishes.
I hardly ever lock my doors unless in a bad area.

This thread got me thinking, I dislike that my doors lock as I back out of the garage as my passenger cannot get in inside the garage. So I tried the delayed door lock setting and, guess what, makes no difference that I can discern, doors still lock as soon as I move the shift lever out of park whether the setting is on or off. What am I issuing or doing wrong?
If you have the settings so both doors unlock when in Park ...
You just need to pull out of the garage, put it in Park, and your passenger can open the door.
I just had to do that the other day when someone parked so close to the passenger side that my wife couldn't get in.
I backed out of the parking space and stopped, put it in Park, and my wife opened the door and got in.
PS: good thing I did not back in which I usually do, because I wouldn't have been able to get in

Re: passengers entering the car after it is started; if the passenger has a fob on their person, it doesn't make any difference what gear it is in, they can open the door from the outside. I don't know if there is a speed threshold, as I have never tried to enter a moving Corvette.

Because if it does this is starting to sound like the "toilet seat should be up or down" argument or "the toilet paper should come over the tops, under the bottom" type arguments.
