For example, my doors lock when I shift out of park and don't unlock until I remove the key, at which point ONLY the driver door unlocks preventing someone from sliding in through another door.

Taking the few extra seconds to make this change could save your life.

it's a very nice feature to have, my truck is older and doesnt have it so i lock the doors before i even engage a gear. I've gotten into the habit of locking the doors manually even in our vehicles that have auto locks.
also some cars have options in the menu to set it up so that when you use the keyfob or keyless entry only the driver side door unlocks. By default it usually unlocks all doors.

I have that set up too but I wish I could set it to unlock both doors on the driver's side. 90% of the time I end up having to unlock all of the doors to toss my bag in the backseat.
