A minor point, but the electronic accelerator control in autos is called "throttle-by-wire."

- dfox 11y agoI've always seen that called EPC for Electronic Pedal Control, but that is probably VW-ism. On the other hand on EFI car, having mechanical throttle cable does not add much to hack-safety as the ECU always has some way to override closed throttle (either disengaging throttle pedal mechanically switches the control of throttle to ECU operated servo or there is completely separate throttle controlled by ECU).
