For a while the R-44 and R-46 cars were equipped with switches mounted near the doors that could be used to unlock them "in an emergency". First they were out in the open, then moved behind a piece of red plastic that would have to be broken to access the switches. Now they seem to have been removed altogether. Why not retain these switches, behind the breakaway covers? Were people breaking them open frequently when it wasn't an emergency?
As for the original plan to have the doors lock on curves and unlock on straight stretches, I would certainly hope that only the inside door handles would lock, otherwise it could wind up locking people OUT of the cars at the worst possible time.
