Friends: 0 |  Throttle-by-wire question IIRC I saw something in this forum to the effect that the gen1 Prius uses a mechanical contact wiper along a resistor as means of throttle control. If this is correct, it seems a bit retro even for a 2002 model; an optical or magnetic (Hall effect?) solution would've been better. Has this design been changed in the newer Prius generations?
