Just a reminder that modern cars that have computer controlled accelerators and brakes can kill you especially if your agreement to remain silent is ending and you might have some dirt on a very high profile celebrity

Yes this kind of car made by the company mini which was not technically a mini Cooper but it was a bigger version of a mini Cooper did have completely computer controlled throttle and brake which good hackers have shown are the types of systems that are fairly easy to hack.

Yes, after 30 minutes in a car that is supposedly burning so fiercely that experienced firefighters are unable to approach (yet are confident that there is no one in the vehicle) she is placed on a gurney (no straps or restraints) covered with a sheet and wheeled to a van whereupon she sits up with no sign of burning on her skin and a full head of fairly tidy hair. At the hospital she then slips into a coma and is sustained on life support (ostensibly for organ donation) for a week.
I think these are all signals to their other human resources.
