Why wasn't the CHP officer making the 911 call, instead of the hysterical person who did? However, that is beside the point. Now that the focus has turned to EMI being involved, and the practical impossibility of testing for all conceivable EMI threats, I think we are looking towards a *mechanical* emergency throttle closer and/or fuel cut-off. It seems to me that this would not be costly to add to the vehicle. More, perhaps, to the point, it could very substantially reduce the cost of EMC testing, to not more than about double what seems to have been the norm for some manufacturers up to now. -- OOO - Own Opinions Only.
