I’m very surprised that there isn’t legislation requiring a way to stop the car if it does run away. (Although it’s quite possible that’s what the police used once they got in the car, and the user missed it in the panic)

Kinda like how you should know how to stall engine runaway on a diesel.

    The brakes on electric cars are not magic software defined wizardry they are normal hydraulics… so if one was to push hard on the brake pedal even with the motors engaged it would slow down. And it would be extremely easy to prove because the pads would be heavily worn presumably if he was stamping on them and the motors were so powerful to keep it at 30!

    “Old man cant drive new car” until there is some more evidence. Sad really! Thanks for sharing for the lol
