And there's no reason to think that it wasn't the car, but at the same time, "audi unintended acceleration". I think that was solidly debunked as driver error, right?
I wonder, emergency/parking brake, gear selector (does the mach-e have a trans?), turn car off, etc... Was the driver praying? Why was his hand up in front of him like that. I'd certainly have both hands on the wheel in that situation.
