There are manual releases but they're hidden. They need to be more obvious because these cars are rented to people and obviously the owners aren't taking the time to figure out where they're at.
I would also think just having secondary power packs in each door would help in the event power is cut to ensure the doors can continue to function for a few minutes while also a speaker could explain how to use the emergency release if none of the doors are working.
All this added complexity and cost isn't worth it to me, manual doors just make sense for so many reasons.
The reason given for hiding them just makes that fact worse. It's for "aesthetics". Manual latches don't look futuristic enough.
