Here is a full report of a study on “An Examination of Sudden Acceleration”, created by the NHTSA in January of 1989. This document gives you a good look at their methodology of inquiry, covering everything from mechanical to EMI to psychological aspects of sudden acceleration. I believe that, in 1989, on-board computers were not storing vehicle performance data, but other than that, this 20 year old document seems to address everything we are currently speculating about.
