Default Can the doors be opened from the outside if locked while sitting inside with the FOB?

If I'm sitting inside with the Key FOB and lock all doors, can someone open any door from the outside?

Say I want to lock all doors from the inside to stop an intruder from getting in and I'm sitting inside with the Key FOB.

Can they open any one of the doors? I think the presence of the Key FOB inside will permit the doors to be opened from the outside.

In some situations like sitting at a traffic intersection and someone tries to hijack your vehicle. Can they open any door to gain access even if the doors are locked since the FOB is within the perimeter range?

My wife and I did a test. While someone is sitting in the driver's seat, the doors cannot be opened from the outside if locked. This is with the doors locked and the FOB inside the vehicle.

Apparently, the vehicle is smart enough for that. It must detect someone present in the driver's seat.

I'll need to try the same with someone only in the front passenger seat, nobody in the driver's and test with someone only in the second row seats (nobody up front).
