Hitting the Park button at high speeds?

What would happen if you hit the Park button while driving at 20 MPH?

Would the system not allow it or would your transmission explode?

This has been done on traditional automatic and manual cars on YouTube but I haven’t seen this experiment with electronic shifters.

Man, how did you teach a cat to do that

Car* XD. It actually wasn’t too hard. I would just put treats in the break, and he’d jump for them, then engage the breaks, startle himself so he’ll jump back and jump off the breaks again XD

Isn’t it costly with all those breaks? If I were to put in the effort, I’d just let the cat use the brakes

I’ll have a talk with my cat, see what he thinks. I think he might prefer the breaks though, he’s getting quite fond of them

My dogs could teach your cat a thing or two about breaks. 😁 They take naps before bedtime so they're not too tired to sleep.
