My car doesn't have an ignition key, it has a button. If you press the button while in motion, I'm not sure what happens, but I'd bet it would ignore it.

- chc 13y agoI have a 2010 Prius, and according to the manual, this is precisely what happens if you push the power button while moving.

It takes power steering with it though, so I don't recommend it under uncontrolled circumstances. I had to come to a stop to restart as well. Of course, if the computer is busted, I'm assuming the long button press will be sent to /dev/null.
