@reiterator @ConnertheCat as far as I'm concerned, if there is a way for you to configure your car such that someone in an emergency can't get it to move immediately or otherwise becomes confused by the way it's operating, that is in fact bad.
Complaining in the name of "freedom of ownership" of whatever that you have to squeeze a pedal or push a button one time when you start the car is like the very definition of making a mountain out of a molehill.
