I'm not really surprised Toyota is mentioned as being involved in half the cases. Because they sell large numbers of hybrids and those have a much higher risk. The car can be "on" without the combustion engine running, so there is no sound to alert the driver that the car is still on. Then over time when the battery charge decreases the car will automatically start the engine to recharge.
For anyone with family members at risk, detectors for CO
and smoke with 10-year batteries can be had for $40 USD.<p>More information is available from:

Combustion engine cars reached their technological peak in the 90s and since then most new features have been pointless gimmicks. Case in point: keyless entry. It hardly saves any time or effort compared to inserting a key and turning it, and puts the driver in more risk.
A non-problem (remote ignition systems) causes another non-problem (thinking about how exhaust works) -- being a luddite is sometimes the correct position.
