Manual transmission solves this problem.

Push in Clutch and engine wraps itself to death, but you avoid death!

With an automatic, just shut of the ignition. The steering will require some extra effort, but unless you are about to go around a curve, it shouldn’t be too much of a challenge. This practice experience was part of drivers education back when. Stopping just using the emergency brake was also practiced.

Any car you can shift into neutral solves this problem.
