OICA counterproposal to the draft German text that would prohibit systems whereby an occupant could be unintentionally locked inside a vehicle, such as might occur with alarm or emergency locking systems.

Certain anti-theft systems fully lock every door and window in a vehicle and also deactivate interior unlock controls. This can lead to a situation where an occupant can be locked inside a vehicle with no means of exit save to break a window. This proposal would require countermeasures to prevent such a situation.
