1. It is will documented that the Audi problem was completely operator error. People were slamming on the gas versus the brake pedal.
2. I have a drive-by-wire car (BMW M3) and have absolutely NO problems with it.
3. I currently have a loaner Infiniti FX35 with the stupid push button starter and think it is the most retarded thing ever. Just another motion I have to go through to start the car. Is turning a key REALLY that tough????
