I realize it's the pedal that gets stuck, but the computer registers the state of the pedal via a sensor.

The computer should be smart enough to realize something ain't right when it registers that both the accelerator and brake pedals are being pressed at the same time. And in that case, the brake should always take priority.

The stories I’ve heard around the recall have been saying that the brakes override the accelerator in the cyber truck.

Well that's good at least.

Thank you Jesus!
