Electric brake controler vs RF

[Robert Stratton]

You're right to be wary though. I had a car (Audi 5000) that would 
floor the accelerator if I keyed a 2 meter HT while the cruise control 
was active.

The good news was that it was a very localized phenomenon. The bad news 
was that there were several places where I could position the HT and 
reproduce it.

That model had a reputation for "unintended acceleration." The 
government and the company seemed to think that it was caused by people 
not remembering to put a foot on the brake when shifting from "Park." 
I'm pretty well convinced that RFI probably the culprit for some of 
those cases.
