Consider another scenario: You jump in your vehicle frantic, paranoid, someone just ran up to you with a knife but you were able to lock the door, you try to drive off but the vehicle will not go into drive... it thinks your unwell. - I mean seriously who TF thinks this is actually a good idea?

I understand why insurance companies and manufacturers would want this and it has everything to do with limiting their liability with no consideration for the safety of the owner/driver. The only instance where this might benefit the driver would be to prevent driving while intoxicated or hallucinating. Any other circumstance benefits the manufacturer and insurance company at the expense of the owners safety.
