Unintentional Sudden Acceleration

Sudden accelaration is a rapid, unintended acceleration that occurs any time after the ignition is engaged. This sudden acceleration has been experienced by people in various vehicle models after putting their cars in drive or driving down the highway. Oftentimes, the breaks do not work and it’s impossible to stop the car.

Most cars today use what is called “Electronic Throttle Control”.

The technology, electronic throttle control, uses sensors to tell a car’s computer how much to open the throttle, which lets in air, and how much fuel to inject into the engine to control speed. Automakers like the technology, which replaces a mechanical cable, for reliability and cost savings, and because its helps fuel economy and improves performance. Just like your PC at home this computer also has bugs leading to unintended acceleration and crashes causing injury or death.
