    I’ve encountered electronic door poppers on a few rental cars and I’ve always disliked them. I see no advantage at all, and several more things to go wrong.

      Yeah, like I’ve seen mechanical door handles break but it’s always been on really old vehicles (except one that was a POS chevy aveo someone I knew had). Electronic shit just introduces problems and doesn’t add anything.

        I’ve broken and repaired a couple. They’re easy to diagnose, and the parts are cheap. Perhaps more importantly for safety, their failure modes are not triggered by crashing.
