U.S. regulators seek brake-throttle override mandate for all light vehicles
 Christina Rogers
U.S. regulators today proposed to require that light vehicles have an override mechanism that enables a driver to stop a car or truck if the accelerator pedal gets stuck. NHTSA said it was proposing the brake-throttle override rule because research showed it can reduce the risk of high-speed unintended acceleration and prevent crashes.
