I think I have decided to sue for 100 zillion dollars.

Why not 999 zillion?

Does that work while the car is in Drive (assuming Auto)? Or at least if you're in neutral but coasting?
Edit: maybe don't test it unless you can find a very empty parking lot.

I have changed my mind, am now suing for 999 zillion.

Probably not. You might have to hold the button down for a few seconds in that case.

So if you somehow didn't realize that you were resting your knee against it?

I knew someone was going to try this!Software would fix it. But I'm not convinced switching the key off while driving would disable the airbags on this car. The passive/active safety features are insane, and the vehicle's CAN's take a few minutes to shut down, meaning the control modules would still be awake and aware the vehicle was in motion when you realized you had shut the car off.

I am almost positive that:
1. The car would not shut off while moving with a simple button press.
2. Wouldn't matter if it did, some type of sensor or something would realize what was happening and the airbags would still deploy in case of a collision.

That is exactly what I mean! But I'm not about to go test it.
