hahaha... I'm sure legally you have to assume everyone just crawled out from under a rock. I remember laughing when I opened my new car manual and the first sentence was, "This car requires gasoline to operate." This was before alternatives to gas, so I really thought it was a strange thing to have to say, but they probably got people complaining that their car doesn't work after they went through the first tank of gas.

Some of those hot car deaths were deliberate. So you'd just be increasing " accidental" drownings or whatnot.
This thread reminds me of growing up and riding around in my Dad's Austin Healey sitting on what was basically where the convertible cover met the back of the car. We weren't in seats, we basically were on top of the car, with our feet dangling into the car.
Good times, but different times.

Local police now have alarmed fans in their K9 units, after one failed and the dog died while the officer was inside a restaurant. Alarms fail, fans fail, are they going to outlaw failure/breakdowns?
One of the useful products already out there (and mandated), is called a rear view mirror. People still don't use those.
True, but in the case of the babies, when they're below a certain age they are in rear-facing car seats, so even if you look in your rear view mirror, the baby is most likely not visible to the driver. I like the dongle idea. But I do think it's a personal responsibility issue. I would not be in favor of a law mandating that all parents have one, based on the the low incidence of these types of events.

I remember taking a summer road trip up north with two of my small, elderly French bulldogs. It was 102 degrees Farenheit when we left. All I could think of is "if this car fails and strands me on the side of the road, these dogs are dead. I will be fine in this heat, but they will not be."
i really should have left them at home.
But the trip went fine, they were able to meet my cousin who loves Frenchies which was the reason they accompanied me, but in hindsight, that wasnt the smartest idea and it was taking a risk with them.
