"Remind me again why the brake pedal isn't a button buried in a sub-menu? Because that would be inconvenient, unintuitive, and doesn't allow quick access?
Then why the fuck would you do this with anything?"
“Because title 49, subtitle B, chapter III, subchapter B, part 393, subpart C, paragraph 393.40 of Federal Safety Regulations requires us to install brakes as specified by subpart B, paragraph 571.105 of the same regulations, which require a pedal. And if those did not exist, then we absolutely would install some other bullshit, make you pay extra for it, and bear no responsibility for it whatsoever.”
Glove box isn’t a safety feature? Do whatevs, land of the free.
My previous car a big lever that the passenger could easily yank in an emergency. No thought required, it's a big level you grab and pull.
By the time you find the little black plastic tab amongst all the other similar black plastic doo-dads, you're dead.
(To be clear, I'm firmly on team mechanical glove boxes.)
