    Forgetting pets or even kids inside a locked vehicle. What could be worse for any parent or guardian? Especially in a hot country like Da Pilipins? [emoji30]

    Hopefully, this can be standard in all vehicles someday.

    I won’t pass judgment on those people. But if this safety feature can prevent child deaths, why not?

    30 some-odd years ago, nobody wore seatbelts. When the government enforced the seatbelt law, andaming nag compain.... kesyo di namn daw sila tanga at maaaksidene. Pero ano nangari? Everybody wears one now. Automatic na sa karamihan pag sakay ng car.

    Compared noon, mas pre-occupied din mga tao ngayon, what with all the distractions, pressure, et al. It’s only a matter of time. That feature is another layer of protection for the child, a safety net. I’m all for it.

    Exactly my point as well. People may disagree and think it's superfluous and not essential, until the day comes when it happens to them or someone they love and then they think, 'sana pala may ganun tayong feature sa sasakyan natin.

    Kapag sobrang busy na tayo minsan nakakalimutan natin wallet, cellfone, etc naiiwan natin sa kung saan-saan, kaya hindi malabong mangyari yung mga scenario na nangyayari sa ibang bansa.

    People always think, that's never going to happen to me or my family/ friends. Until it does.

    It just happens. Di lang distracted, kapaguran din.

    This is exactly why we need to consider this more as a back-up system. I hope none of us are naive enough to think that it won't ever happen to any of us or people we care about.

    We, as drivers, parents and guardians are the primary safety systems. This, along with Seat Belts, ABS, EBS, Stability Control, Lane-Departure, etc. etc. are simply redundancies in case HUMAN ERROR comes into play, which, whether or not we'd like to admit it, is real. People forget, people make mistakes, people get tired, etc.

    what did someone say?
    "the gadget still has to be invented, that will effectively work against stupidity and plain hard-headedness."

    some car buyers, one of the first things they try to figure out, is "how can i bypass this safety/security system?"

    But that's not an excuse NOT to have the safety features. If car owners think that they know better, it's on them. Car manufacturers who add these features and the government agencies that bans modifications to safety features, can only do so much. But at least, their heart is in the right place.

    For sensible adults, these features are a god-send... in more ways than one.

    Correct. If you have the power and the responsibility to bring him to the water, you should. Whether or not he drinks from it is all on him.
