I imagine the best placement is probably just about the middle of the dashboard, between where any airbags should go off. It would be something that could be jabbed by a blunt pole of any kind (the butt of a fireaxe pole for example) which would dislodge a connection between two points. That shouldn't be the main bus, but rather supply the power MOSFETs with the go bias current.

This sounds great in theory, and would work well until your 8 year old jabs a pen in there while you're going 70 on the freeway. There are two completely different scenarios you have to optimize for, and their optimizations really compete with eachother; ease of access is a benefit in one, and a danger in the other.
