I work in the automotive industry for a manufacturer. All of our prototypes have big emergency stop buttons in the center console using 3D printed adapters to slot into the cup holders.

They just kill the engine and disconnect the battery. It's a legal requirement. Nothing fancy.

So if you are at speed, the car starts engine-braking (with no proper brake force distribution between front and rear wheels), and the power steering isn't working, right?
