I've always driven "standards" (i.e. manual transmission), not automatics. With a manual transmission you can ALWAYS withdraw engine power by pushing out the clutch pedal; which you do automatically whenever you brake. So owners of standard Toyotas should be at no increased risk at all. The EMC's rev-limiter function should limit spark and fuel, when the accelerator and clutch are pushed together.

And if you do turn it off, you end up locking the steering wheel! You can, I think, still move the transmission to neutral.
