So if I am driving a seriously ill person to a hospital in one of these POS cars and they die because I don’t get to the hospital in time, I am going to sue Ford out of existence. (I once was actually that seriously ill person - anaphylactic shock.)
Reading the story, it indicates that this function is controllable by:
1) switching it off via a dash switch, or
2) applying near full throttle (similar to the old “kickdown” switch)
