These stupid games are going to get someone killed. Lay in the road and get ran over. Jump in a car and wind up kidnapping a child in the back seat. This just happened in Filthadelphia when a mother went into a pizza shop. Luckily the child was found in the car unharmed.

Doesn't answer your question, but it is a feature that could have unintended consequences and I am not fond of.

I have a 2015 and I'll have to give this a try.
