RC:

I sometimes wonder if test engineers actually drive these cars under normal driving conditions because this is stuff they should notice during development. yes

There are some issues which professional test engineers are "immune" to, simply because they are too professional.

To try to make a product "foolproof", you have subject it to abuse by as many people as possible who are insufficiently informed about the right way of doing things and therefore more inclined to try all the wrong ways first.
