    I can think of a really easy and 100%-effective way to address the problem you're having!

    Yes, l can solve the problem with the door.

    But FCTA, that highly dangerous feature is not circumventable ...

    Is there a reason you would not just close your door?

    Yes, clearly, that would work.

    But, when I am playing musical cars on our driveway (moving cars for access and for charging), repeatedly getting in and out of each car several times as I move each of them just a few feet at 0.5 mph, I was just wondering if it was possible to do this without fully closing the driver door every single time.

    This sounds like a situation where a minor user error (failing to recognize that a vehicle was not correctly shifted to "Park") could lead to significant operator injury or property damage, so some kind of safety interlock would be more useful there.

    Can you elaborate a bit on this? If I am in the seat and moving the car 3 feet at, say, 0.5mph, and then I am done and then I put the car in park, when would the user error kick in regarding have the driver door not 100% fully closed while I was moving the car 3 feet?
