Shifting the car into neutral is your best bet, as well as a pumped parking/emergency brakes. However, I will always believe that turning secondary brakes into a button/lever was a bad idea.


In cyber trucks shifting to neutral requires a tap and a gesture on the touch screen. It’s a really great and safe idea.


Putting shifting controls on the screen was dumb for many reasons, but doesn't really cause a problem in this case - the cybertruck will disable the accelerator when you hit the brakes, accomplishing the same thing as putting it into neutral.


In some cars the transmission is also controlled electrically.


Don't buy a car that can't manually go into neutral. Ever.
