i-3 168 bhp electric motor!! very quick 0-60mph

Never heard about this new BMW idea, but reading the mag one thing that would worry me is that the i-8 has a pedestrian protection system, where it will come to a stop, by itself if it senses someone is in the way.
First thought would be its ideal for a car thief, 1st one jumps out in front of it and it will stop and the 2nd one could be at the drivers door. Also I hope there would be an override option. After the riots of last week, would be the last place where you would want the pedestrian friendly mod to kick in, as you were trying to get out of their way!!!
They have self parking, and drive themselves below 25 mph, science fiction come to life. Joe 90 here I come!!!
