I would go with Toyota and unintended acceleration rather than Honda. Honda are doing pretty good - only car company in America meeting emission standards (except Tesla).
The tactile response friction device in the electronic accelerator pedal was the point of failure. I doubt people buying the car even knew the accelerator was some electronic gadget rather than connected by a cable to the engine as per grand-dad's Toyota. Nobody was given special training on how to react should the electronic accelerator go wrong.
Now, if you are a driving instructor you can specify a second set of pedals. They might be in the other seat but you can specify them and have someone sat there to use them.
Anyway, that is as far as the auto analogy goes, tenuously...
- Johnny555 8y agoI used Honda as an example of my car because my car is a Honda, and note that my example didn't posit any malfunction, just an extra-cost safety feature (though I think it's standard on most of their cars now)
