” as you are driving home the car starts speeding up when you take the foot of the gas the car keeps speeding up.”

Happened to me. Put the car in neutral, pulled over and turned it off. No big deal. I hope you have learned what to do now if it happens to you.

Interesting that in both planes pilots were able to defeat the MCAS.

In the Lion Air crash the pilot controlled the plane for five minutes then handed it off to the copilot that lost it. Pilots in the same plane turned off the MCAS the day before.

In the Ethiopia crash, the pilot turned off the MCAS but strangely turned it back on and crashed.

Tougher to pull over in a 737. ;)
