Stuck Gas Pedal
#29
I spoke to my friend who drives a several year old Lexus and who had the '09 loaner. She was NOT instructed on emergency engine shut off procedure when they gave her the keys to the car. I seriously doubt (and she's a smart woman, very tech savvy) that she would have known how to shut down the engine at speed, if, indeed those instructions (or other similar in nature) posted earlier apply to the Lexus.

My point is that new tech is great and I lust for it as much as the next man/woman, but there are things that would benefit from standardization for safety reasons. Renting a new car is always somewhat of a challenge both to myself and people I know (yeah, I'm an OF) with the plethora of gadgets and controls that vary from one make (and even model) to another.

I hope there will be more coming from this tragedy that just floor mat security.
