The old Jeeps before the LLV had an ignition cutoff tied to weight on the driver's seat. They ended up all disabled pretty quickly but that was back in the day when safety was job 3 or 4. Mainly the problem was cutting off while just reaching a little for some mail. I don't know, it was before my time here.
On a side note, I saw where the Rivian Amazon delivery van with already poor range gets really bad when the heater or AC is used. Supposedly not an insulated pre-production van but it's taking a 40% range hit in the real world. Guess what's never going to happen? Delivery drivers not using the AC even on a mild day warm, or the heater on a mild day cool. San Diego is the only place they will see the 120 mile range.
