Well, dang. I was skeptical of these after the ones in Toyotas proved to be people hitting the wrong pedal, but props to these researchers for continuing to dig after everyone else decided the case was closed. They’ve almost certainly saved lives with this discovery.

*edit: looks like this may have been debunked

Wasn't the conclusion in the Toyota case that the ECU was so complex that it could not be ruled out that the unintended acceleration was a software bug? I thought they found possible scenarios where unintended acceleration would result.
