Yes. Even brakes, although mechanical/hydraulic in operation, can be controlled because the anti-lock system puts a link between the brake pedal and the brake pads.
Throw in a non-mechanical ignition system and the car can only be steered. Throttle wide open, brakes disabled, no way to shut it down - yee haw!
And throwing on the hand brake would only slow it down for a few seconds until the engine overpowered the hand brake and made them emit sparks and flame.
