Doors locked because electronics fail in engine fire

Hello, I just read in an article that in a car the engine started to burn. As a result the electronics failed and the driver could neither open windows nor doors – fortunately passers-by came and hit a disc. It was an Audi Coupe – the BJ is unfortunately not mentioned. Can it be that you can’t open the doors and windows with Audis anymore when the electronics fail? Is that also the case with other manufacturers?
