Investigation into the run-away Lexus that crashed into bridge supports at high speed in California, taking the lives of all 5 occupants, identified two "defects" in the car: improper floor mats in the loaner car that jammed the accelerator pedal; and driver's unfamiliarity with the Start/Stop push button in the car to kill the engine.
Even after years of using the Windows Operating Systems, it is still counter-intuitive to push a Start button to Stop anything. Especially in emergency situations.
