Can the driver not simply use the brakes? Why was abandoning the vehicle the best option?

The driver could have taken over at any point.

Leaving the highway, they could have taken over

Leaving the road? They could have hit the brakes or taken over

Following the rails? They could have turned away

I presume the car was following a lane along the railway, they could have stopped it

These people were just going along with whatever their $60k car suggested
