Seems people are getting out of their new Chryslers leaving them in gear.

They have had push button transmission before. I forgot who made them in the 50s and 60s but they had similar problems. I had a friend who had one. It was easy to leave it in gear.
Maybe they need to do something like they do with tractor seats where if they are unweighted it shuts off the engine. Maybe they could have one where if it is unweighted or not in park it shuts off?
