Actually I am very knowledgeable in electronics. It is not that I don’t like things electronic. It is that I am smart enough to know that somethings are too important to leave totally in the hands of electronics and software that are subject to design flaw and just plain component failure. I have no problem with the electronics being there. Just put an over ride on it for in case it fails. That is the way it should be when your life could be on the line.
My main point here is that it isn't true that the car couldn't be turned off, and this was some sort of design defect or electronics failure. The driver just didn't know how to turn the car off.
