It seems to me that it would be easy to put a circuit in the cars computer
that would override the dbw pedal if it sensed that the throttle was more
than 1/4 down (or something like that) and the brake was full on.
At no time (unless you are doing burnouts) should the brake be full on the
the throttle depressed more than 1/4 or 1/8 of the way.
Seems like a no brainer to me.

I have heard that if you push in the button and hold it in, it turns
off. Maybe it was on NPR??
