i duno...im all for automotive technology, but not when it interfers with my control over the car

Marlene Fett, 70, swears she hadn't touched the gas pedal when her 1988 Lincoln Town Car plowed into a carousel outside an Arkansas Wal-Mart in 1995. The crash killed 6-month-old Nathaniel Chapman and seriously injured his then-2-year-old brother, Jonathan.
