Well, it's not that far fetched of a question. Some cars indeed cut the ignition when the oil pressure goes to zero. Even running totally out of oil the car would have been drivable for a long time, even at highway speeds. I'm not saying no damage would occur, but it probably wouldn't seize. Of course, at some point damage beyond repair will occur. It's easy to tell if it's seized or not by any reputable mechanic. Don't toss the car out without checking. Your warranty may be toast though.
