When I was like 1 I was hanging out the window of my uncles brand new Sierra, my mum didnt know any better. My uncle dropped the phone and ran out his house before I triggered the window and decapitated myself. I assumed things had changed in well over 35 years.
In my car (model year 2020) and I assume most modern cars, the window buttons are designed such that you push down on the button to lower the window, but you have to hook your finger under it and pull up to raise the window.
And you can see there's a raised, fixed part in between, so on the rare chance you accidentally lean on the window buttons and trigger them somehow, you're more than likely going to lower the window, not raise it.
Check out the incredibly stupid interior of this car. The window switches are on the center console, not on the door. They're also not even remotely near the handbrake, which is on the floor between the seats.

I agree, i think thats been true for a while. But my story is from 1987/1988, at latest. We’re also assuming that my uncle wasnt over reacting, or something.
