RE: drive by wire and 42V

[Len Sabatine <sabatine@epix.net>]

    There's currently much discussion taking place about proposed OBD3
    standards and what will be implemented . An ETC virtue is removing the 
physical
    link [ cable ]  between throttle and the  accelerator. Nasty frontal 
crash scenarios
    can involve jamming a cable in fixed or WOT status , adding potential 
to make
    matters worse. Also, ETC lends itself to Outside Telemetry 
Intervention by law
    enforcement or other control hungry folks that may have access to a 
vehicles
    data stream via satellite. The potential for abuse is what's being 
discussed , now,
    amidst other issues and " intrusive feature " integration [s]. I say 
no more because
    it's bound to get hair standing up on some folks necks. Nuff for now.
