Read the link I provided, it goes in detail on how they found the issue. It includes a test car on a dynamometer. Seven engineers reversed engineered the software, took them months on top of the NASA engineers' work to find the issue. They found the software was badly designed and badly written, it was in spaghetti code, the result of upgrades from the previous code. They had 10,000 global variables, imagine, you should not even have any global variables in your code, it's bad design.
Your links only points to the possible electronic issues which would cause throttle to go wild. A stuck throttle is not a big deal in old cars that use accelerator cable and I have personally experienced that several times on old cars. It is a fact sir that in any car, even a sportscar, the brakes is a lot stronger than the engine. Check out this video to see what I mean. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NOMYjiCiTYg
