The car is "locked up" on purpose, because it applies parking brakes for safety reasons.
It's not a multimedia issue (infotainment). There's a separate driving computer with sufficient redundancy functionality. It's likely a problem with 12V power if the critical functionality freezes.
You can even reboot the infotainment system (the main screen) when driving and the car drivers perfectly fine.
- simion314 5y agoWhy no manual override also for safety reasons ?
- Yaggo 5y agoYou can't provide manual override for electronically controlled system in the case of power failure. To disengage an electronic parking brake, at least in Teslas, you need power. If there's a serious problem in power supply (of 12V power), the computer must put the car in the likely safest configuration and shutdown to prevent any kind of erratical behaviour. Anyway, in an unlikely situation that the driver fails to pull off safely in case of critical system failure (remember, steering and brakes always work), and the car stops on lane, you probably don't want to risk your life by pushing the car. For a towing truck the parking brake is not much a problem.

Does the car come with emergency sings to place on the road so you don't kill others with an abandoned car in middle of the street? (I am not sure if in US first aid kit and emergency stuff(signs,fire extinguisher) are mandatory)
