Just about anything with ABS or traction control has a digital override of the drivers intent. That was the big fact people seemed to overlook during the Toyota-acceleration fiasco.
I wasn't nearly as concerned about the actual problem as I was about the computer deciding a brake instruction from the user should be ignored. Modified, certainly. But ignored?
It boggles the mind.
