Zusammenfassung:Systems of an electrical vehicle and the operations thereof are provided. As vehicles become self-driven, safety should be improved. In the rare occurrence that a vehicle is performing an incorrect function or in an incorrect manner, the passengers need to be able to shut down the car and evacuate the vehicle in a safe manner. Highlighted by this is ride sharing vehicle that picks random passengers up. Inside the vehicle would be an override switch. When initiated, the override switch would send a lower level command to the vehicle control unit overriding any upper level signals, alert any near cars of the issue and immediately pull over and bring to a complete stop (unlocking all doors as well) the vehicle. This could optionally be coupled with one or more mechanical/electrical shut down/disconnect mechanisms.
