Autonomously-controlled windows could be a significant hazard for some of the ‘normal’ operating conditions per NHTSA.
A guestimate based on two previous submittals to VCA and other such bodies exceeds $80 USD per vehicle.

Just lower all the windows automatically.

Maybe instead of just alerting, the car should shut down upon reaching some measured CO limit.

Since DC power is available, the horn is available, packaging is not needed, installation can be integrated in the auto manufacturing, I estimate an auto CO detector would cost below $10/car, about what a household one does. It would cost $500,000/death to install CO detectors in cars. Is this a reasonable expenditure to mandate?
