Cabin Overheat Protection

In an industry-first safety measure, we are introducing Cabin Overheat Protection, focused on child (and pet) safety. This feature keeps the car at a safe temperature for hours, even when the car is off, and is made possible by our uniquely large battery packs.
Does this mean that more owners are going to leave their dogs and children unattended in a hot car as the 'cabin overheat protection' will kick in much like the autopilot driver who think its OK to watch a DVD whilst the autopilot is active?

Autopilot has had a tweak as well.
