Not physically separating essential vehicle control from the onboard entertainment system, because what could possibly go wrong?

I seriously wonder if there's any assassinations that've happened with the use of this mechanism. (1. wait until approaching intersection at high speed, 2. disengage brakes + steering wheel, is probably very effective)

Gotta love how these cars constantly report their locations :)

Princess Diana - although because of the era, that was more sophisticated - retroactively modified systems in the car. Plenty of suspicious private (and not so) jet crashes over the years too. Non-overridable remote-control systems - what could possibly go wrong?
