It's called "accordion type" accelerator pedal. Yes, its based on electronic throttle body. There is a sensor beneath the pedal itself that measures the amount of pressure applied to it and opens the throttle body with the equivalent amount. The entire system is called "Drive-by-Wire". With this technology, the days of stuck throttle bodies and loose cables are history.
