That is a very scary thing to think about. Especially considering that you can use those features anywhere and it still open your vehicle.

For example, my doors lock when I shift out of park and don't unlock until I remove the key, at which point ONLY the driver door unlocks preventing someone from sliding in through another door.

Taking the few extra seconds to make this change could save your life.

it's a very nice feature to have, my truck is older and doesnt have it so i lock the doors before i even engage a gear. I've gotten into the habit of locking the doors manually even in our vehicles that have auto locks.
also some cars have options in the menu to set it up so that when you use the keyfob or keyless entry only the driver side door unlocks. By default it usually unlocks all doors.

Just the thought of that scares me - I am not a fan of the self locking vehicles.

I'm also a bit leery of those. We don't have a car that does that, but one that is smart enough to not let us lock the key fob in the car. That's kinda handy. My truck is neither and I have locked them in once.

Also I was the only Tahoe I the parking lot. So I don't think it was a mistake.
Also I think there was drug dealing in the parking lot. This gentleman,after opening my door, got into another vehicle, made a circle drive , then got out. The same vehicle "A" set in the parking lot and vehicle "B" pulled up and opened door got out and got into vehicle "A" did the same circle and got out and both cars left.
