As I was braking...THE DOORS UNLOCKED THEMSELVES! AS IF THE CAR WAS TELLING ME TO JUST FORGET ABOUT THE BRAKES AND JUST GTFO OF THE CAR

This car really has strange quirks...or maybe because it's just tax season and I haven't gotten a good night sleep in a while...
Honestly this sounds like a safety feature to me. I imagine if you're having to break hard enough that a crash might be imminent, the doors unlocking would be beneficial, so the air bag doesn't suffocate you, and it can pop out the door a bit if needed, and for getting you out of the car (if the door can still manage to open) since you wouldn't be able to unlock the car well with the air bags deployed, potentially injured, etc? That's my guess anyway - interesting bit of information nonetheless.
