“On august 29, 1:25pm, when I drove the Bmw i3 car in the comcast parking lot into a park spot, the vehicle speed was almost slow down to zero after I left my foot from the accel. Pedal since the car will slow down without accel. Pedal pressed. Then, I pressed the p button in the switch knob as I did many times over the 700 miles experiences in this car. The car was abruptly speed up with a very big torque, I used by foot to press the brake pedal. It didn't work. The car was in an around 50-mile-speed (according to an observer in the comcast park lot) rushing forward. …”

“The car, while driving on a 2 lane road, ceased it operation announcing it had drive train failure. Luckily I was slowing for a light, as the steering and brakes also became unresponsive. The car could be manually turned off (the remaining functions and power off). It then could be turned back on and driven. In other words, the car decided to go off line while in a state of engagement with the road and the driver.”
