@@FFVoyager Gosh. Such an odd question to ask. Have a little think about the UK Judiciary operates ... as evidenced in recent years.

@@noelward8047 what a stupid reply. 🙄 If there really is a problem with a motor vehicle there is a long established process of fault finding, checking and resolving issues. As far as I know JLR have not been taken to task about failures with the I-pace brakes or throttle systems. But should a user find themselves unable to resolve an issue there are again, well established processes to go through to get recourse. The reason it is not happening is that unintended acceleration is a well known phenomenon - long before EVs - and confused drivers aren't able to claim from the manufacturer for their own mistakes.

The governments and their globalist masters should be blamed for this.. They are pushing Manufacturers to produce these terrible EV’s ….

What are you sceptical of exactly?

@PointNemo9 The start/stop button. The brakes not working (they'd bring it to a stop before brake fade) even without electrical assistance. Jag letting it back out, The insurance company still covering it. Him driving it again after this happened. The neutral button only working after pressing it hard. 80/90 mph, why wouldn't it be at top speed? No law suit. Were the brakes glowing red hot? Cruise control. Etc etc

@@baronvonhoughton I’ve experienced similar issues but not in such dramatic fashion. There but for the grace of etc. Electrical units had to be swapped out more than once after 4 years of ongoing issues. JLR will never admit liability. Although the car is beautiful to drive when working, it has serious flaws. Such as being immobilised if the 12V battery discharges, even if the main battery is fully charged. JLR only took action after I wrote a letter of complaint to their Managing Director.

Mine is flashing too. That car will have massively depreciated and was not sold fit for purpose, this is not the best way to get the car written off.

@@baronvonhoughtonyou’re spot on. For over 20 years accelerators have been electrical and applying the brakes will override any accelerator input. This is the case for EV’s and ICE vehicles too.

Or consider that automated work stations in a factory are required to be surrounded by cages with entry gates connected to off swtiches - all so that operators can be kept at a safe distance from automated machinery. Why is there a different law for road users?

All the lathes and scraper’s where I did my time all had big red back up kill switches in addition to the on/off switch. And that was back in the ‘70’s. Australia

I also own big machine tools and was thinking the same thing. All electric cars should be legally required to have an e-stop switch that is directly connected to a chunky contactor that controls the main battery supply to the rest of the car. Cheap and simple to implement and really shouldn't not have taken something like this to happen for it to be given consideration. Likewise any IC car that cannot be easily stopped in a fault state due to electronic handbrakes and gear changes etc should also be required to have an equivalent cut off system

One Cincinnati 3-axis machine with Heidenhain 430 control had some weird electrical issue, where the X-axis sometimes started to creep. Like it could randomly just start to move. When that first time happened while I was working on it, I automatically pushed the emergency stop. I was literally stunned, looking the table move, I could not believe that the big red button didn’t work. Co-worker shouted to quickly run behind the machine and switch mains off before the table would crawl to the floor trough the side window 😅

@@StreetMotionUKAs I understand it all EV’s have a “kill switch” BUT it’s under the bonnet for emergency service to disconnect the battery in the event of an accident, not much use if you are being driven flat out and refuses to stop.

Please confiscate his licence, I wonder what his next bullshit excuse is when he gets caught speeding again in an ICE car.

I was in an electric Abarth recently and to be fair there was a conventional mechanical handle positioned very low down in addition to the electric button towards the top. Surely any car with electric release would also have the conventional over ride? In which case why bother with electric release..

I saw another video that covered this issue in Tesla's. Apparently some models have manual emergency door handles ( not all years in any model though), but they are buried away and most owners don't know they exist. The guy was imploring Tesla owners to find them and have any tools needed to operate or access them to be kept inside the car in an easily accessible place. There have been several incidences of people getting locked in when the battery failed and at least one person died in a fire when he couldn't get out. The windows are very tough as well (cybertruck reputed bullet proof), so don't expect to be able to kick them out if you want to leave in a hurry

@@user-it7lf7kk8m All Model 3s since first production in 2018 have the front emergency door opening levers in such an easy to find location that most passengers pull that lever first to get out before you teach them which button to press next time. As far as I'm aware it's pretty obvious on each model for the front seats. Those cases where people in front seats burned alive after hitting a tree at speed, they had also been drinking, so who knows what injuries they had or what state they were in to be able to open a door using the very obvious manual release lever? People also burn alive in petrol cars, so this is not exclusive to EVs. Like many cars these days, the Tesla rear seats have electric door open actuators and electric child locks, so it's not so easy for kids to accidentally on purpose open the door without parental permission. The manual release lever is usually hidden behind the speaker grille or under the side storage floor mat.

I have a Nio ES6 in China, this has backup mechanical door release levers inside door pockets. External handles are retracted but can be extended by pressing one end of the handle.

Can't open my doors too. It's called a lock 😂

Even on my '13 Mazda 3, the start/stop is by computer control but it's always allowed me to kill the engine by hitting the button 3 times. If that would fail, the brakes will overpower the engine, and failing that, I have a mechanical shifter to put it in neutral.

They presumably ran the standard tests, couldnt find any obvious fault and possibly assumed driver error.

Indeed. They had a free IQ test in 2020/21/22. Everyone who failed that now gets the option to pay for an expensive one.

Yes: it has an electronic parking brake, which he never mentions trying to use. It has gear selector buttons which apparently worked when he "pressed it really hard" but he never mentions even trying that the second time. And an on-off button which he never mentions trying to use. The foot brake also has a mechanical override in the case of an electronics failure but this will be unassisted so on a 2 ton+ car you're going to have to properly stand on the pedal but it will stop you. The guy never mentions pressing the pedal any harder than usual. Clearly there was an issue with the car but the lad doesn't sound like the sharpest tool in the box and didn't try any of the things that would have solved the problem.

Yup - nothing mechanical.

They would need to get climate change & diversity in somewhere.....😂

Old school bullshit if you ask me, "software" does not control the brakes, in ANY car, brakes are mechanical. One wonders why the police didn't test the brakes to check his claim that they weren't working, and check to see if neutral was able to be selected. If the answer is yes to either, he should be prosecuted for driving without due care and attention. The usual misinformed sensationalism that this channel pedals for clicks.

Calm down chap. I am afraid that if you think critically then you will realise that in many modern cars software obviously does control some of the braking. Otherwise all the driver aids and "safety" functions would not work. Obviously we will not know the full facts until the investigation concludes. But, to say that software has no influence on these vehicles is objectively flawed. This may be a fault in some form of "self driving" technology, we just do not know yet.@@David-bl1bt Also search for Brake-By-Wire to read up maybe?

@@David-bl1bt You are correct. Upon revisiting the video and reviewing The Mail online article, there appears to be inconsistencies. Following the initial incident there seems to be a lack of emphasis on diagnosing the issue when with Jaguar. Despite describing a collision with a police car at 90mph, one would expect visible damage to both vehicles. Remarkably, three weeks later, a nearly identical incident occurs, raising questions about the likelihood of such a recurrence. The images on the Mail website reveal no apparent damage to his car, not even a cracked number plate. In the first instance, the urgency to conduct a thorough examination of the fault seems lacking. Considering the severity of the collision, it is perplexing that data retrieval from the car's "black box" wasn't pursued. Now, with the Police expressing a need for forensic examination, Jaguar acknowledges the potential for data retrieval from the black box. This inconsistency in approach raises concerns. Additional observations regarding the initial incident include his account of the car being brought to a halt by the police, reducing its speed from 90mph. If there were indeed a fault, wouldn't the electric motor continue running even when stationary? It is noteworthy that there is no mention of this specific incident from the police, adding another layer of uncertainty to the narrative. Electric vehicles operate on a drive-by-wire system, while their braking system maintains a physical connection. Even in the case of electronic handbrakes, there is an emergency fail-safe mechanism: holding the button for 10 seconds activates the parking brakes. I-PACE uses an Enhanced Brake Regeneration system that recuperates almost all braking energy. Once you lift your foot off the accelerator pedal, the system provides regenerative braking, comfortably slowing I-PACE while converting the power generated to optimise the battery's range. Conclusion: Man becomes perplexed between the accelerator and brake pedals.

@@ClifftopTragedy better than doing dying. But they can have proper contactors or something under a flap. My 3 series has a button under a flap to call the BMW lady if i have a crash.

No there not. Wtf u talking about 7 7 ?

The police have! "Following an investigation by officers a 31-year-old man from Bolton was arrested on suspicion of dangerous driving and causing a public nuisance. He has been taken into police custody for questioning." 🤣

It has been happening for at least 2 years and jaguar seem unable to find any fault, so it is easy to cover up, future my arse indeed 😂

Maybe the car was hacked, usually when a car is hacked like that the people inside die so there is no one to explain what happened!

I was surprised when he said it was slowing down on its own at the end as the charge was used up. All the police could do was act as an escort to get him through traffic! Terrifying.

@@Thunderbloke2 no, it was slowing down as he managed to get it into neutral.

@@organickevinlondon that was the first time it happened, the second time it happened he referred to watching the range count down to nothing.

Problem is, the police will likely be pressured by the government to bury this also since they’re determined to either get us all into EVs or off the road entirely.

Should have got a Tesla......😂

Petrol, if they aren't regularly doing longer runs, letting the filters regen. Or just buy an old diesel without a DPF, smoke freely!

The most reliable cars are petrol-powered. The most unreliable cars are EVs.

Mmmmm, it sounds like an incompetent driver to me. Easy to stop a runaway car, simply select neutral, even without brakes it would slow down and come to a stop eventually....irrespective of whether it is electric, petrol, lpg, diesel ie run off chicken shit. So the brakes didn't work? Interesting. ALL braking systems, whether on an electric, petrol, diesel, lpg or chicken shit powered, are all mechanical....totally unconnected with an electric drivetrain....or any other drive train. Braking systems have been dual circuit for decades...for exactly this reason....one circuit fails, the other is a backup. So, this guys story is utter nonsense , what he needs to do is learn about how to drive and control his car under any circumstance. It's basically comm9n sense to anyone with a working brain cell. In fact, he should be prosecuted for driving without due care and attention. This guy is a danger to himself and other road users. Just sensationalistic journalism that is jumped upon by 2 bit youtubers to promote their egotistical channel.

@@David-bl1btEVs like this don’t have a mechanical link from a gear selector to gearbox. If the electrics are knackered you can press the neutral button all you want, it won’t change mode.

This is the sort if thing that the Governement are creaming for, so they can get the public's approval for remote cut off systems so they have even more control over our movements.

I agree, the 'bashing the neutral button multiple times and then eventually it went into neutral' part of the story just feels off to me. It seems very implausible to me that you'd have to bash a modern electronic button that many times and then magically it suddenly works.

Same, lots of this doesnt make any sense what so ever! So it burned through its brakes instantly and accelerated just as hard? Also why didnt he hit the start stop to turn it off? Ive been in the trade for years and ive learnt that customers rarely tell the truth about what happened when a fault occured for some reason! Freeze frame data is a god send! Be interesting to see the data (He said the light came on so a fault was thrown). This needs to go to a decent independent engineer!

​@@criptyqueThat might depend on what loop the computer was busily stuck in and how it could then manage to deal with interrupts like the driver pressing a gear select. Clearly that complex software was having issues outside Jag's design parameters.

Totally agree - As an I pace owner for since 2017 the whole things seems completely bizarre . Why would the brakes fail when it apparently engaged warp mode? Why did the neutral switch work after 20 mins and not before ? Why did'nt he just switch it off - push the start button twice and that shuts the car down? Engage the cruise control and let the auto brakes engage?

Yeah I’d like to see a 5 series touring stopping a 30 tonne wagon

​@@GeoffBuysCars Me too😂

Or a electric railway engine (except those have actual systems to stop runaways which should be applied to cars)

As a Hgv Concrete mixer driver this is reality, London branch has these vehicles. Scary shit.

Geoff , there was an unreported EV accident in the West of Ireland in January this year , the car went on fire and the young driver was trapped because he couldn't open the door and he died . Not a word about it in the News but local knowledge.​@@GeoffBuysCars

Exactly

Justifiably so!! they should be stopped until tech is improved! The infrastructure is just not available.

Your husband's career will be ending soon.

Let you husband know from me, he is an idiot

This is mot new, 2 years ago a family member had the same experience in a residential area, she hit two cars and bounced up the kerb and grounded on a wall leaving the wheels off the ground, otherwise who knows what would have happened, jaguar did not find any fault, insurance paid out with none of the usual games they play, very unusual,yes it was an I pace

That won't happen - it would prove he's a liar.

​@@FFVoyagerso your suggesting he done this deliberately?

@@thistimeimhereit's considerably more likely than this spurious tale.

To nice! No hes unbelievably Stupid!

@@FFVoyager as a mechanic I think it's far more likely its had an electrical issue which is a major problem in modern cars. Electrics are crap. Your version seems far less likely and makes zero sence. Unless you can explain how him doing it deliberately makes any sence at all. Unless you think he's mentally ill I don't get it.

Bumper sensors only work below about 10mph

On your car perhaps. My Audi proximity sensors work at any speed. It can be annoying. @@roblonsdale8927

@@roblonsdale8927 he might mean radar cruise sensors.

What about keyless start and entry, could you throw the key when at speed and then the immobiliser disables the engine come to a hault

@@adamfavsvidc Not neccassarily. I heard of someone starting a keyless go car (Jag XF) and putting the key down on a workbench before he left. He then drove 40 miles switched the car off but couldn't re-start because the key was 40 miles away.
