But man, when accelerating at max power due to a glitch, you need to look at the touchscreen to find the right place to slide your finger to switch to neutral... I thougt having touch controls for climate was bad.
That is totally wrong. Most/all cars won't even go into neutral if the throttle is pinned. Your best option, always, is to mash the brake pedal as hard as you possibly can. It will win every time, even if the car doesn't have throttle cutoff.
In fact this is a somewhat little advertised boon to three point turns, in that you can go from reverse to drive without depressing the release button on floor mounted shifters or pulling the stalk in on steering wheel mounted units. You can just slap the car into D from R.
