    Drive it like it's stolen...

    It was always going to be an issue with "drive by wire" if they didn't know what they are doing. Surprised the authorities deemed it fit for the road.

    Apparently its horribly common with the new jags.

      The driver of the Jaguar I-Pace had been travelling on the M58 at about 14:15 GMT on Wednesday before calling police to plead for help.

      Officers were able to escort the car on to the M57 and then the M62.

      It was finally halted 25 minutes later between Junction 11 for Birchwood and 12 for Eccles, police said.

      Did he miss his junction?

        Did they copy the code from Toyota? They're the experts in SUA.

            one wonders why other people have been reporting it?

              So why have they arrested him if the car was faulty? And to still be in custody? Is not all as it seems or is this the process until they find out what really happened?

                Because JLR have Telematics data from the vehicle that after analysis shows that the driver was being a dick!
                Probably.

                    Written by JLR - don't tell me you're one of the few contractors on this forum not to have worked for JLR...
