> Not saying it will be common but some sucker will eventually be killed by this. People are killed by vehicles every day, and some of those are vehicle failures as well. Saying someone will be killed by it isn't interesting. The question instead is will it fail more often than existing designs, which is something only time will tell. But we've had throttle by wire for a long, long time now, and unintended acceleration issues caused by the system failing are largely unheard of. It's completely possible to engineer a robust electrical system just as it's completely possible to have design faults in the mechanical systems that cause premature wear & failure.
