A lot of cars now use electronic throttle controls, i.e. a throttle position sensor connected to the PCM. But they said something about it being a wireless connection in the Toyota/Lexus which, if correct, is news to me.

If I remember correctly it was the co-founder of APPLE that was interviewed regarding his run away Prius. If that guy was ignored by Toyota then who else would be a more qualified electronics expert?
