Technically, even if the vehicle logs do show the accelerator pedal being commanded to 100%, that doesn't necessarily mean the driver actually pushed the pedal.

Technically, even if the vehicle logs do show the accelerator pedal being commanded to 100%, that doesn't necessarily mean the driver actually pushed the pedal. The computers inside the car are capable of commanding the accelerator too. They'd have to rule out a glitch which got mistakenly logged as user input. They probably can, I dunno. I think accelerator pedals use hall-effect sensors so a readout directly from the magnetic sensor should be impervious to glitches.
