> Fortunately, the owner who experienced this issue was able to stop the acceleration by pressing the brake, which cuts power to the drive motors. However, as soon as the driver lifted their foot off of the brake, they reported that the truck immediately accelerated at full throttle. Kind of scary considering the 6,800-pound truck can sprint from 0-60 mph in under 2.7 seconds.
There's got to be a system/UX design thing somewhere to prevent this. It's extremely rare for someone to want to brake while keeping the foot fully pressed on the accelerator, and then want to accelerate fast moments later.
