You have a point, but in my experience, I've had many manual window cranks break on older cars, but not a single power window motor.
If a component is built properly, it shouldn't be an issue.

Very interesting. Do you have a source for further information? I've always intuitively known that traffic management is where the real savings are, but it doesn't seem to get the intelligent thought it deserves.
