In a lot of cars, this break-the-glass is still your ignition/car key. Big problems start when you have a "break-by-wire" model.

In lots of cars the key doesn't do anything when the vehicle is moving. In some cars you can't even turn it mechanically if you don't have gear in P or R, in other cars you can't even turn it at all because its just a button. There are very good reasons for this, the recent GM issue where the key fell out by vibrations which killed the power steering comes to mind, some people actually died because of this.
