Digging into it a little more (insomnia, how I loathe you): I’m not sure what it’s called on Omoda cars, but automatic acceleration from stop / tap-to-accelerate is a feature in every EV I’ve driven with adaptive cruise control. The ‘dangerous’ part is alleged to be that Omoda cars lack a cutoff integrated with the rest of the sensors that disable the function when road conditions aren’t identifiable (like because there’s a preschool in the way). This is absolutely a failure on her part to remain in control of her vehicle, but it’s a failure that was exacerbated by dangerously poor design.
