   I can think of one thing that they might want to try that should be fairly   
   easy to implement on cars with throttle-by-wire:   
      
   If the gas and brake both end up being activated AT THE SAME TIME, the   
   ECM/PCM would reduce the throttle opening to the same degree as there was   
   pressure on the brake pedal (or brake pedal arm movement).   
      
      
   Simple, no?
