Certainly the most natural reaction to a stuck-throttle emergency is to stomp on the brake pedal, possibly with both feet. And despite dramatic horsepower increases since C/D’s 1987 unintended-acceleration test of an Audi 5000, brakes by and large can still overpower and rein in an engine roaring under full throttle. With the Camry’s throttle pinned while going 70 mph, the brakes easily overcame all 268 horsepower straining against them and stopped the car in 190 feet (翻譯: 就算在 70mph (112km/h) 的速度將 Camry 油門全開, 煞車系統還是能夠輕易的將擁有 268匹馬力的 Camry在 190 英尺以內完全煞住) —that’s a foot shorter than the performance of a Ford Taurus without any gas-pedal problems and just 16 feet longer than with the Camry’s throttle closed. From 100 mph, the stopping-distance differential was 88 feet—noticeable to be sure, but the car still slowed enthusiastically enough to impart a feeling of confidence. We also tried one go-for-broke run at 120 mph, and, even then, the car quickly decelerated to about 10 mph before the brakes got excessively hot and the car refused to decelerate any further.(翻譯: 我們還測試了在 120mph (193km/h) 速度時, 將油門和煞車完全踩到底. 但就算如此, 車子還是很快速的減速到大約10mph (16km/h) 煞車系統才開始有過熱和無法再繼續煞車的現象發生) So even in the most extreme case, it should be possible to get a car’s speed down to a point where a resulting accident should be a low-speed and relatively minor event.
