My 1985 911 will happily start up while in gear with me outside the car at hitting the key. I am smart enough to never do that. I have started it from outside the car by reaching in and hitting the ignition, but I am always 100% certain it is in neutral.
My wife's 2017 Macan has the ability to do the engine shutoff at every stop. It is easy to program the key to never do that.
Yea, no doubt new cars are engineered for the lowest possible idiot that gets behind the wheel. Backup cameras are DOT required, like tire pressure monitors because turning your head and looking in mirrors is too hard, and looking at the tires regularly is beyond the ability of idiot drivers.
