Yep. Can't fix stupid.

I read this yesterday, and I had the same response. IMHO, in the case of the man with the Lincoln, when his son heard that response from his dad, he should have taken the keys away. That is sheer stupidity on the part of car owners and has opened the door to more government interference in our personal life, all because SOME PEOPLE ARE TOO STUPID TO OWN CARS......:shakes head:

Things will only get worse. Nature has a very effective method of weeding out the weak and stupid but we are subverting natural selection and polluting the gene pool.

Bring back Darwinism. I say we just remove all the warning labels on everything for at least 5 years and let nature run its course.

to me, this is the same as someone leaving their gas stove on w/o turning it off. This is also what happens when people use their cell phones as their exiting their vehicle. I bet more than half of these folks were preoccupied talking on their phones and forgot to turn turn off the ignition.

There's no way this goes anywhere in court. If you get out of your car, it's obvious the car is still running. So, what these people got out of their cars and stayed inside a closed garage with the car running waiting for it to turn off? Also, might buy this if this happened when someone first bought the car, but after the first night they would have figured out they were doing something wrong. Otherwise these people were going inside and leaving their cars running every day? I'm not buying it.

Don't know how this suprises you

13 outliers who impacted millions because they forgot. Stupid people make a difference too.

Lol

But I don't want my car to turn off simply because I get out while my fob is in my pocket.

These people are the same douche canoes that ruined it for everyone when their incompetence led to the requirement of depressing the clutch to start the engine, in modern cars.
At least Toyota trucks came with a Clutch-Start Cancel button.

It's a must have for any 4×4.

:iagree:
In my experience, if the question is being asked, regardless of what it's in relation to, the answer is always "yes".

Don't you also have to manually switch the key off? They need a safety for that too. LOL

This is the same problem we have with guns. Not only do you have to be responsible, you also have to be competent. Many people are neither of these things when it comes to guns and cars. Ownership of either of those items is a privilege, not a right. I have no sympathy for these people, just like I have no sympathy for the idiot who accidentally shoots himself in the foot.

Found this in the comments... pretty humorous :icon17: yet very sad at the same time :shakes head:

Look at some of the ridiculous tags that manufacturers are required to affix to things you buy as a result of these law suits.
"Caution: Remove infant before folding for storage." -- On a portable stroller.
"For external use only!" -- On a curling iron.
"Do not use in shower." -- On a hair dryer.
"Caution: Do not spray in eyes." -- On a container of underarm deodorant.
"Do not use near fire, flame, or sparks." -- On an "Aim-n-Flame" fireplace lighter.
"Do not eat toner." -- On a toner cartridge for a laser printer.
"Do not iron clothes on body." -- On packaging for a Rowenta iron.
"May irritate eyes." -- On a can of self-defense pepper spray.
"Caution! Contents hot!" -- On a Domino's Pizza box.
"Caution: Hot beverages are hot!" -- On a coffee cup.
"Warning: has been found to cause cancer in laboratory mice." -- On a box of rat poison.
"Warning: do not use if you have prostate problems." -- On a box of Midol PMS relief tablets.
"Warning: May cause drowsiness." -- On a bottle of Nytol, a brand of sleeping pills.
"Do not attempt to stop the blade with your hand." -- In the manual for a Swedish chainsaw.

I agree with all comments made. However, my understanding of why this lawsuit was started with Toyota was due to the Prius. Drivers would pull into their garage in electric mode and not remember to turn the car off (distracted, I am sure). Later, as the battery ran down, the gasoline engine kicks-in to recharge the battery, and then carbon monoxide poisoning occurs.

Again....not defending a frivolous lawsuit.....but it makes more sense when considering this series of events.

(my emphasis)

Gun ownership IS a right - at least in the US. See Second Amendment of US Constitution.

But your point is still valid. ;)

Fair enough ... I guess even stupid people have a right to keep the King of England out of their face :rolleyes: :icon17:

My right to life trumps your right to bear arms in an irresponsible manner, so I don't have a problem restricting irresponsible gun owners' ability to purchase them despite their inherent right via the 2nd Amendment :twocents:

be kinda cool if the engine shuts off after the fob is outside a certain distance.. like 15 sec after the fob is 5ft away or so.

this way it can possibly recover a car after a car jacking. give away the car, you run away. by the time the car shuts down, you will be at least over the river and through the woods. :ugh:

.. and gets lost in the woods :ugh2:

:shakes head: cant help stupid..

I have 2 cars with push button, I'll be rich when the lawsuit starts :rofl2:

And then the thief sues you and the car maker for the wreck he/she gets in when the car shuts down. Personally, I think it's a great idea; it's just not practical in today's litigious society.

Edit: The more I think about it, the better I like your idea. It should be easy to override the shutdown - if car is moving, don't shutdown.

Well, my car should just know when I don't want it to be on!

Yah, but the stupid driver still lost in the woods somewhere.. :ugh:

:rofl2:

Please god NO. I am a Wireless field engineer in Florida and I am in and out of my vehicle all day long. I leave it Running, I get out I lock the doors and go fix something. It's hot outside and I have a Laptop I use to monitor the network with and it stays up all day long. A laptop in a Hot vehicle dose not work well at all.

These people need to buy a Nissan Leaf.
In the driver's test, some basic common sense questions need to be asked.

What part of FL
