an accelerator sticking is one thing, but acceleration without pushing the pedal at all? i think some drivers that made colossal mistakes (ie pushing the accelerator thinking its the brake) have a very convenient excuse now.

Or has an awesome excuse for pushing the wrong pedal, falling asleep at the wheel or any number of driver-related explanations. Actually my fiance rear-ending someone with the Yaris must have been unintended acceleration, not the big patch of black ice.
