So indeed, they have made a car that you cannot turn off when something goes
wrong.  And this guy was given one as a loaner (so possibly not familiar
with the system), and something went wrong.

Somehow, I can see getting flustered over a 'key' that doesn't do anything;
and not thinking of shifting to neutral.

And who knows, there may be a 'safety' interlock on that as well, that won't
let you shift when doing over say, 50 mph.
