Does it override the accelerator?

Do you trust Space Karen enough to make that assumption?

Tesla vehicles have a lot of software onboard, and they build it like a regular SV tech company. That is frightening to me.

The TikTok video[1] that originally showed off this issue noted that he was able to stop because the brake overrode the accelerator. He was then able to set the truck to "Park" using the touchscreen while he figured out what happened.

I've driven several cars that cut the throttle if you brake hard. Especially easy with drive-by-wire.

(Haven't tried it on a new Tesla)

Me too. I don't trust Tesla to get that right.
