This seems to open the door to operators not being literally in the driver's seat. I think "location on the vehicle" could reasonably be interpreted as including virtual locations. For example a drone operator is physically in a little room somewhere but they are in actuality operating controls that fulfill all of those requirements remotely. It's not hard to go from there to "I can press the stop button on my phone whenever I want" so I am effectively "stationed at the vehicular controls".

That is not how laws work. "could be interpreted" doesn't matter when there is one clearly stated and intended interpretation.

>stationed at a location on the vehicle Seems pretty important in this context. This law probably exists to stop people getting crushed by jumping off while the tractor is in reverse to hook a grain bin.
