Instead of a cable goin from the accelerator right to the throttle body, "drive by wire" systems send a signal from the accelerator pedal to the computer and then to the throttle body.

Failures in the control systems can result in an unstoppable runaway vehicle - if the throttle, ignition and transmission are all beyond the direct control of the driver there is no effective way to stop the vehicle in such an event.

Seems that I saw somewhere that disconnecting the battery for a few minutes would reset the computer, causing it to "relearn." Can anybody verify that?
