Unintended acceleration didn't start with
Toyota, nor did it start with the
Audi 5000 - it's probably been around since the first man put a leg over what he thought was a tamed horse.
Automobile Magazine takes a look at the phenomenon of accidentally wide-open throttles circa 1957, when
Chrysler began the process of putting Bendix Electrojet fuel injectors into four of its models. At one point, a test car flooded when the injector's signals were confused while passing a radio broadcast tower. It's a good read so we won't spoil it for you - follow the link below for the full story. And if you see the only remaining Electrojet-equipped Chrysler - the rest were retrofitted with carburetors - keep an eye on it...
