I can see how that would be a problem.

Apparently they are unsafe no matter what.

Evidently they’re safe if the emergency brake fails, and they roll downhill.

So does not matter if you are parked on the driveway or driving on the parkway.

I remember the recall for my 1997 Explorer. The cruise control used a diaphragm sensor on the brake master cylinder where the sensor wire was hot at all times. If the diaphragm ruptured you could get a fire, which could happen even if the vehicle was off (such as if the diaphragm material degraded). There were many fires from it. The “fix” was a new wiring harness with a fuse embedded in it.

No, hit that ramp as fast as you can and do a Dukes of Hazzard. No reports of them catching fire while airborne.
