I suppose the change from concept --> design --> test --> release to market has now changed to minimise the testing phase to make it safe but now outsourcing testing as 'beta testing' to the end user who now has to put up with poor useability ....
I don't believe there is an ideal 'happy medium' in the design of software - if there is, it must be somewhere between deliberately doing it in thought-out steps from simplicity to expanding capability, and rushing out something full of bugs in order to minimise cost.

I have had my fair share of warranty claims in the past and I have never come across this before - effectively, if the warranty is coming to the end of its life and you can't get the car in to the dealer on time (the dealer is fully booked) then tough - you're not covered. ... Read more
Thanks for explaining, learn something new every day :-)
I had a few warranty claims with the Renault (silly electrical gadgets) but the Focus has been faultless.
Exciting technology? I think not!

"Transport Minister Trudy Harrison said: “This is a major milestone in our safe introduction of self-driving vehicles, which will revolutionise the way we travel, making our future journeys greener, safer and more reliable".

Can’t think of any reason why it should be different in either direction. Have you tried it with the engine not running ? I would assume the trigger releases the lever from the park lock position .
