There are probably systems in the car which don't shut off until the battery is completely empty. Other devices shut themselves off when the battery becomes too low - probably so they don't face this problem. If that is so the question remains: Why do these systems need to continue to run? Why can't they build an emergency system that shuts down everything and calls for help before the car is bricked?
