The connection should be obvious.  Your cars are driving themselves when
you aren't around, accelerating unintendedly all over the place, but
when they get home they sit there and listen to the radio and play with
the power locks and windows just like three year olds until the battery
croaks.

PS happy sixteenth birthday for my Jan 1982 Coupe.  Now it can get a
license for its little "solo" joy rides...
