Kids being run over indeed. What a poorly thought-out argument.

So because my worst-case scenario of a car's immobilizer kicking in at a bad time and causing loss of control of a vehicle was a bit extreme for you, the whole point is invalid? You resort to one of the dumber of the logical fallacies, and yet
mine is the poorly laid out argument?
My post assumes that the engine shutting down suddenly and unexpectantly never results in sunshine and unicorns. So yes, on a freeway with sufficient traffic, engine immobilization could cause a bad accident. And yes, sudden engine immobilization in sharp turns around a neighborhood could result in sufficient distraction that someone could children. Car companies have been sued in America for less.
So tell me, Mr. I-Can-Makes-Logic, under what circumstances could a manufacturer
avoid a lawsuit due to sudden and unexpected engine immobilization of a moving vehicle? No, nothing?
