Even with the key, which looks more like a plug, it is not a simple matter of getting in, turning the key and driving off as you would any other car or truck. There are a few steps needed before the vehicle will actually move, and then a few more required once you want to leave the car. We have a few Prius vehicles in our fleet and before being allowed to drive one it was necessary to have a short demonstration on the operating procedures, which are unique to these vehicles.
