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!!"
Yeah, as I just said in my other comment, newer cars don't have keys, and I'm not sure keyless (and electric in this case) cars even let you turn it off mid-drive.
It's certainly possible that it might not let you turn the car off.
It won't let you turn it off in drive stick that bitch in neutral and it will. Car manufacturers design cars to be able to be turned off with a stuck accelerator, people just dont know about it and tend to panic.
Putting it in neutral is just a suggestion to the computer as well. If it locked up entirely, nothing helps in this sort of design. Go back to reliable cable control imo.
Why didn't he turn off the engine?

Maybe he was too dumb to think of that, but most EVs are fully drive-by-wire so I'm not discounting the possibility that he couldn't turn it off.
