Pushbutton ignitions should be banned or at least universally discontinued… the key-switch ignition is a hard, mechanical failsafe.
In our manufacturing-line machines at work, a hard, mechanically-switched interlock for shutting it off is required by the government safety organizations… you are not allowed to simply have an electric pushbutton to turn it off. That’s not good enough if the machine is trying to chew your workerbee to death and the electric pushbutton decides to go FUBAR at that moment.
The poor Saylors. What a horrible feeling of helplessness his last seconds must have been– “how can I turn this damn car OFF????”
