The direct cause of these deaths is driver stupidity.

That's a harsh conclusion considering the victims are more than likely to be from "The Greatest Generation".

Thing is, it is very clear. I’ve only driven a car like this once. It was a rental. The first thing I asked myself was, “If you press a button to start the engine, how do you stop it?” It was, quite literally, a no brainer. And I’m 61.

Even members of “the greatest generation” have no business behind the wheel of a car. It doesn’t mean the car maker is at fault.

I also noticed that several folks here have this kind of car and said that if you get too far from the car it honks at you. Just exactly how moron-proof do the makers have to design these cars before they are not responsible for bad behavior? Should the car shoot rubber bullets at you to get your attention.

Sorry, I’m just so sick and tired of the way our current culture processes the concept of personal responsibility.
