Ye it is a bad idea. I mean, I've worked in the auto industry as a ECU programmer and multiple times during uncommitted code development I made self acceleration bugs. It is really easy to mess up.
And steering going full left kills you in ways the brakes and gas can't.
After I left I heard that they removed the key as kill switch too for some stupid reason.
