Guess they made it too complicated. Maybe the old Model A
Fords had some advantages, after all.

The pedal is not just the pedal any more. It is an
electronic device
with a footpad that tells the computer how fast you want to
go and
some other servo motor opens and closes the throttle as
needed.

In the past, metal rods or cables worked the throttle and a
spring
pulled it closed. It is now a drive by wire system that
should
failsafe to a closed mode, but evidently is not.
