GENERAL COMPLAINT: WHY CAN'T CAR MANUFACTURERS INSTALL "INTERIOR" MOTION DETECTORS IN VEHICLES TO REDUCE THE RISK TO BOTH CHILDREN AND PETS BEING ACCIDENTALLY LEFT IN A VEHICLE ON A HOT DAY. THE MOTION DETECTOR WOULD ONLY WORK WHEN KEYS WERE REMOVED AND TEMPERATURE INSIDE THE VEHICLE WAS ABOVE A DETERMINED LIMIT. ALARM WOULD GO OFF WHEN ALL REQUIREMENTS (KEY REMOVAL, TEMPERATURE AND INTERIOR MOTION/SOUND) WERE MET. I JUST FINISHED READING THE STORY ABOUT THE TWO YOUNG BOYS WHO DIED IN THEIR MOTHER'S SUV TODAY. WE HAVE TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS TYPE OF TRAGEDY....IT'S HAPPENING ALL TOO OFTEN.*AK
