As anticar as I am in general (thinking of the last post I engaged in), this was my first reaction. It may be new technology but failures happen all the time. I guess the difference here is it was in fact human error that did this than a technical failure AND the person wasn't present and couldn't see it. I'm trying to think of an analogous situation with old technology, the "parking brake on a hill" is closer to a failure of the brake + an human error that is one of neglect. The autostart is an error that on the other hand requires human action, not neglect, so may be that's why it feels different. This whole thought process conjures up arguments around the trolley problem.
