How can they leave it at “did something”. That is a very important part of the story.
There is a lot here that doesn’t make sense.
He had to drive for a long time to be able to call and wait for the police to arrive.
Too many things don’t seem plausible.
Given adequate highways, rotaries and traffic going faster, one can drive indefinitely without breaking, so while there's always a question of whether a notable incident is a stunt of some sort by someone who actually knew how to stop, etc, I don't see anything unlikely about the outcome.
It was pretty trendy to report on these incidents at the time.
That said, if the article is to be believed, throwing the keys out the window and hitting the power button not working is a bit crazy. So is only having a "fly by wire" brake system.
And if an engineer did a black box dump and it reported tons of faults, it very well could be an error in the car.
Either way, I'm glad I own a car where my pedal is connected to the actual brakes, with or without power.
Those other cases did not involve LE on the scene who confirmed the whole thing.
