We should all go into our current vehicles and tug sideways on our accelerator pedals to see if they snap.

OP said he’s a giant, was getting out of the vehicle, snagged his giant shoe, and yanked his foot back
 people are worried they’ll do the same on the freeway?

You won’t yank hard to the side unless you’re getting out.
You won’t snag your foot unless you’re a giant.
You won’t snap the accelerator unless you tug hard on it sideways.

Not going to happen accidentally while driving, IMHO.

I hope they have staff watching the forums. I can see it now....high-heels clacking loudly as a silhouette runs down a long, dark, smokey, empty hallway to the only office at the end. RJ's office... As he sits in the dimly lit room, smoking his cigar, she rushes in and says "RJ, you must see this"!

Agree. This isn't likely some uneducated / unexperienced design of a first time engineer.
...
I would have agreed with you - until we saw the dissassembly pictures of the tonneau cover drive mechanism.
