The driver obviously panicked, but do these new vehicles have some sort of idiotic lockout such that you can't just turn off the engine or shift from drive into neutral while moving?

My newest vehicle is a 2014, so, what the hell do I know about the new ones...

She was applying the brakes. Why wouldn’t the car stop? And what kind of car is this so I can avoid buying one?!

That’s what I was wondering; why didn’t/couldn’t she turn off the engine?

All new cars by 2085 will be required to have reverse thrust front bumpers.

Didn’t watch the video. Is the pregnant driver a man or a woman?

Have to remember that most people on the road do not have the understanding of their car, or the judgement to be able to make these decisions in a panic.

On a side note, for other reasons, most of the above list should never have been granted permission to drive.

Combined with the fact that new cars are absolutely designed to babysit their operators.....
