FTA: "This similarity lies not only in the large amplitudes of the two signals, but also in the similarity of the two rise times; namely, a slow one lasting for about 0.8 seconds followed by a faster one that rises to a maximum in less than a half a second. Are we to believe that two drivers of different sexes and in two entirely different driving situations could press the accelerator pedal inadvertently at · almost exactly the same rates of movement with a slow depression first followed by a faster· occurring at almost the same time later?"<p>This seems easily explainable by someone pressing on the "brake" (actually accelerator) slowly, then panicked slamming on the "brake". Not sure what'd be strange about that at all.<p>Not saying there isn't any there there, but seems like it could be explained pretty easily.
