Anton Yelchin death and complexity of car controls

I'm very sorry to read about Anton Yelchin's untimely death most likely due to the complexity of the shift lever in his Grand Cherokee.

and don't forget the Texas Man who died because he couldn't get out of his Corvette with electronic door locks.

Just give me a regular shifter and a regular door handle!

So yes, people do die from bad design.
