It actually happened to someone.  I think it was a Honda Prelude, 
and the parent was away from the car.  The child was standing on 
the center console, though the sunroof either waving or watching 
the parent.  The switches for the sunroof were on the center 
console, and the window closed, choking the child to death.

I believe this was on the news locally in AZ, but it's the type of 
story that would get picked up nationally.  I didn't get it from the 
'net!

So, I think it's a nice feature to have on an Audi (MAC).
