Remove all electroncis from the accelerator mechanism. Including Cruise Control.
All electronics fail, way too often for comfort.
Electronics are fine for radios, air conditioning, moving your mirrors...but they have absolutely no place in between the driver and the accelerator, the brakes and the steering.
All critical functions should be mechanical.
By Law!
The simple answer is:
The reason for unintended accleration is the first idiot who decided to put electronics between the accelerator and the engine.
This is by far the stupidest design decision I have ever witnesssed.
S/he and everyone else who have participated in this moronic scam should be jailed for manslaughter or murder.
IMHO There should be no "fly by wire" in any automobile ever.
PERIOD!
Lost In Stupid Parentheses!
I can't say I really miss it all that much.
BTW Kudos to the OP for asking.
And hilarity at the CS fool who thinks his degree means anything more than memorizing and re-gurgitating what the profesor is enamored with.

Now _that's_ cool! I'd put a big assed flamethrower on the boom and take it to Afghanistan.
