Preventing Car Rollaways: A Crucial Safety Concern
In the quest for automotive innovation and user experience enhancement, car manufacturers have introduced a variety of gear selector configurations over the years. These innovative shifters include rotary dials and push buttons, departing from the traditional column stalk or center console shifter with the familiar Park, Reverse, Neutral, Drive, and Low (PRNDL) pattern. While these new designs aim to save space or create brand-specific interfaces, they have also raised concerns about their potential to confuse drivers and lead to unintentional gear shifts, increasing the risk of car rollaways.
