is it so difficult to move the now "smooth touch" of a locking switch which is within reaching distance at the doors?
older cars door locking mechanism was push and pull at the end part of the door..
now most cars is having it near the door opening lever which is within reaching distance
just because some smart guy or girl created the "auto lock/auto speed sensing lock/etc etc" thingy to make it "easier or convenient" for us doesn't mean every car should have it unless the manufacturer wants it to be incorporated in their cars, don't be lazy, just move a bit to lock or unlock the car doors...
anyhow it depends on humans...other people in other countries wouldnt really bother about having this auto lock thingy, they are more concern with fuel economy and eco-friendly vehicles.....it's a matter of being discipline to either flip the door lock...

mazda cars originally don't have auto lock in the first place..

auto lock got pros and cons..
it's good when it's good.. (safety purposes)
it's bad when it's bad.. (accident cannot unlock, a child was left behind in the car; cannot open due to autolock - i know a 5 year old may be able to open back but what if it's a baby)

if ur car got no autolock, be responsible and remember to use it manually..
if ur car has autolock, be responsible and well aware of it when it is in operation
