Ridiculous start/stop button question...

Cmike2780 · 03-31-2011, 11:20 AM

I'm sure there's a failsafe, but can the push button shut down the car while your driving? What if you had to shut it off because of a stuck accellerator?

I'm guessing you would have to hold it down for a few seconds to shut it off. Not exactly something I want to try, just curious.

That's an interesting question. I'm kinda curious what would happen.

yea i don't think that it does anything while driving, but i definitely wouldn't try it. if you have a stuck accelerator, take the car out of gear and pull over

Correct me if I'm wrong, but think that way back when, to start the car, you pulled out the choke lever, turned the key on and pressed the starter button mounted on the dash. My point is that the push button starting is not totally brand new. It was also done in the '30's and '40's.
