The Keyless Killer
Keyless cars.
"Since 2005, 37 people have died by unknowingly leaving their vehicles running in their attached garage, according to data from Safety Research & Strategies Inc., which specializes in car safety."
"The auto industry has known for more than a decade that people were being injured and people were dying. There was a conscious decision to not put an automatic shutoff in the vehicles."
I'd never really thought about this as being a potential safety hazard. But, I can see how it happens.
Someone gets home -- in a hurry -- not paying attention -- no key to grab -- no alarm from the car dinging at them -- shuts the garage door.
Here's the full story from where those 2 quotes above originated:
