Engine auto shut-off
Does your vehicle turns-off itself if you leave the car running and you take the keys outside of the vehicle? This happened to me 2x today.

Can't say I've experienced that as I usually turn it off if I exit the vehicle. What I have noticed is that it shuts off even if I leave the keys in it, due to having passengers. This does not make sense.

I was cooling the vehicle while it was sitting in my driveway. No one is inside the vehicle. I guess it is a safety function of the vehicle to refrain from it getting stolen when left turned-on without the keys inside.

Just one of the many ridiculous things we have to put up with just to be "keyless". I hardly consider it "safety" when I can't even figure out when or if my car will stay running. Even with the keys inside it will still turn off at some point.
Once my wife took me to pick up my car and she made the whole trip back in her car while I had her keys in my pocket. If were weren't going to the same destination she would have been up a creek.

Mine does turn off.
I once park outside the garage to unload some stuff (auto start stop is on, and engine is off at the time). After unloading (maybe 10 minutes?), when I get into the driver seat, I notice the car switch to acc mode. Since I have the 48v system, the engine remain off the entire time, so I don't know when it was turn off, but it definitely does.
