That's still better than having a car that, standing around parked, 
would under certain more-or-less mystical circumstances /spontaneously/ 
open the driver's window.

And yes, there have been cars that had such a bug built-in, due to some 
bug in the onboard electronics.


Speaking of the mysteries of french cars, a while ago my brother had a 
car where the button to activate the hazard warning lights had an 
inbuilt indicator lamp; now under poorly understood circumstances (which 
had something to do with whether the headlights were on or not), this 
indicator lamp would also flash whenever he signalled a left turn.
