You cannot turn this behavior off persistently -- you need to open car settings and disable it every time you leave Park. My guess is that some jurisdictions mandate this behavior. When this "feature" triggers you have a short win

Especially since they're using the primes to encode N = 26 independent variables within a single number. On any modern CPU, you already have 32 (or more) independent variables in each number, they just happen to be called bits. And you can
