I have a neighbor that had a 3 year old onventionally powered Ford explorer.....she came out of the grocery store, cranked it up and it immediately accelerated right into the side of a building.

What the hell is that?

Drive by wire. No more mechanical connections to the accelerator, brake pedal, steering. No brake linkage/pushrod to the master cylinder. No cable from the accelerator pedal to the throttle body. No steering column. It's all electric sensors and servos on many new cars. It's scary.

“It’s scary”

Heard that.....if it happened to me I believe I’d seek legal advice.
