Hmm, I hadn't thought of it before but in an accident where battery power
fails do you end up with a car you can't put into park?
Of course in a bad front end collision I can see the linkage for a shifter
getting destroyed too.
I'm not a fan of the electric parking brake concept. I can see having the
battery go flat and not be able to get the brake off. I presume theres
some failsafe for that but I've never looked into it.

Randy, et al.
A flat battery would ruin your day.
Also, to use an "AP" would require looking down at the screen and
selecting, from a menu, the appropriate icon, etc.
In the split second available, could it be done effectively?
I think not.
YMMV
Fred
For us old folks who grew up with shifters, yes, but for the kids today,
an app on their cell phone might work just as well.
