Reminds me of this car of old people who had a stuck accelerator. Had enough brains to call 911 and say they are out of control. Got to intersection at end of highway and hit and killed others. Not once in the 5min did it occur to the driver to turn the fucking engine off
Incidentally the last words recorded on the 911 call were "omg the road is ending. Prey! PREY!!"

Sorry, the car knows better than you. Also, these new fake-Mustang EVs don't even have a keyhole in the door, let alone the ignition.
Show of hands: Without looking it up (and I did for this), how many people know how to turn off a push-button car while it's moving, presuming the software allows you to do so?
Of those of you that do, how many of you are likely to remember that while your car is careening down a highway divider?
Anyone? Bueller? Bueller? Bueller?
Incidentally the last words recorded on the 911 call were "omg the road is ending. Prey! PREY!!"
Wrong "pray", but can we get a link to that if you weren't makin' a funny?
My car actually has keyless autostart, but that is about as automated as it gets for it. No self driving/lane assist shit that takes control away from me.
Why didn't he turn off the engine?

Bingo. Thankfully, I only drive cars with a manual transmission, so worst case, I can just throw it in neutral and let the engine blow.
If you're in the stick-shift club with me I can presume you're also driving a car with a key in the switch, not that that means as much these days.
