To: null and void

I’ve read electric windows will,still work under water for a short time, but ultimately ately the window should be put down before the car c9mpletely sinks, and try to,get out through the window. Trying to open a door with all windows up is near impossible I guess before the pressure equalizes.

yup, cuz water is heavy.

thats why my resuscitation comment.

the window broken, the occupant most likely would drown before they could be gotten out.

either waiting for car to fully flood equalize pressure and open door and get them out

or pulled out of a broken window without opening the door after pressure equalized.

the victim most likely would panic and drown

but most can be resuscitated immediately after pulled out of the water

the whole thing stinks from a 1st responder perspective no ?

Electric windows may work under water for a short time. But we no longer have purely electric windows. They now have electronic control systems. Those absolutely do not work as soon as they get wet. Poor a glass of water in your TV or computer and see how long it works.
