Actually, all Americans do not live in constant fear, of car jacking, or most other things. American advertising does want to create as much fear as they can, so as to sell more stuff. Afraid your clothes are not white enough? Buy more bleach. Afraid your teeth are not white enough? Buy more bleach. Afraid your newly laundered bed clothes are not clean enough? Buy more bleach. :roll: Even though American, I have little fear of insufficient whiteness.

The auto door locking is a safety feature. It keeps folks in the car better during roll over and other tumbling accidents. Being ejected from a car kills far more people than it saves. The doors automatically unlock a short while AFTER a crash is "detected" by the car. It's in the manual.
