you talking about the UI bug that fails to move the camera from shifting menus, or something else?
No. I don't think it a bug - just something that was omitted. When you are still, the camera button will toggle the camera app but when in motion, it just toggles rearview on/off. I keep the camera app up when driving and it would be great if I could toggle to the map and back to the app with the camera button. It is a daily annoyance because I *never* use the camera button in its current implementation and it sems like this is the sort of thing it should do.

I think the windshield is plenty strong for that, my concern would be how it might injure you in an accident or mess up deployment of the airbags. Plus, I don't see the need given how easy entry/exit already is.
good points

I've also wanted handles and thought about it. It isn't easy.

Side curtain airbags have made handles hard to do and expensive. I can see how to do it but there are legal issues. One needs to have a spot to solidly attach the base. That can easily be designed into the A pillar and roof edge. The handle is the hard part This is because of the airbag. It must not interfere with the inflation of the aide curtain airbag. It also must not be in a zone where a head might hit it for other liability reasons. This means it can't hang diagonally in like most did. It needs to have the handle have curved mounts and be closer to the side window, windshield, or roof. That is so the airbag has place to be before deployment, and not interfere with deployment. I lean towards having the handle to the inside, but that is worse for head strike. Then there is the issue of somebody having their hand on a handle when the side airbag goes off.
very good points

four door handles a must for 2027 model

I keep the camera app pinned to the Bottom Bar/App Launcher. One press of the button will bring up the app if you are going under a certain speed limit though.
