Toyota recall...
"In addition, as a separate measure independent of the vehicle-based remedy, Toyota will install a brake override system onto the involved Camry, Avalon, and Lexus ES 350, IS350 and IS 250 models as an extra measure of confidence. This system cuts engine power in case of simultaneous application of both the accelerator and brake pedals."
Sounds like a common sense approach for a variety panic acceleration situations. This is in addition to rejiggering the gas pedal placement and floor mat anchoring.
I'd like to see it retrofitted into more models, including my car as well, but it's not on the list.
