Sure, for the electrical part. But the door as a whole should Fail Open. You can pull over with an open door. You should not have to break the door to escape after a failure.

I think the point, though, is there should be a redundant system to handle failures, like a mechanical-only door handle.

Another example: your dashboard touchscreen fails, there should still be a button to turn on the AC. Or off. Whatever makes this analogous to the safety concern about doors.

Yes, I agree with that.
