    But what happens if it fails closed (due to no power - the only failure mode I’ve considered below) and the vehicle needs to be moved?

    the same as all other cars with locked axles, they tow on a wheel sub trailer.

      I was thinking about pushing it off the road for the every-person. Not just transport. But don’t take me too seriously. I’m no mechanomagician.

        Like if the engine dies on a roadway and now that lane is completely blocked until a truck can come pick it up? Where normally someone would get out and push it to the side of the road so traffic could flow while they wait? I think your concern is valid.
