Through the data, Toyota identified situations where rapid acceleration was deliberate. Situations like turning with your signal on - at an intersection - or accelerating from a temporary stop - like a signal light or stop sign. With that information, Toyota says, it can identify times when the driver punched the gas but didn't intend to do it. It will then stop the car from accelerating, hopefully preventing a collision caused by using the gas and not the brake.

Does this mean when trying to make that quick hole shot the car will just say no?
