My VW car does this all the time - particularly in the rain. Including when my kid is in the car. Fun times.

Incidentally the last VW I will ever own. Although I doubt other modern cars are any better.

Man, my driving instructors car had those. Driving around the neighborhood where I live had those going off pretty much the entire time. Makes one wonder how incredibly oversized the parking spaces are where the designer of that feature lives.
