I can see the liability issue for Nissan if say, I accidentally drive off and leave my fob in my house when I went back to grab my phone and left my fob at home and the car drives for so many minutes and just all of a suddenly dies on the freeway, and someone rear-ends me and I break my neck due to the fact that the car just died while I was in the middle of a situation...

I guess it's kinda like booby trap, you set it up, but if a robber tries to rob your house and he gets hurt by it, then you can go to jail for setting it up....

ok, I'm rambling...so...anyone know the answer?
