Hmmmm... well in my job I write software for motion controllers. In my software there are a ton of failsafes to prevent 'run away' drives. I find it difficult to believe that the cruise control software in a motor vehicle has the power to make the car 'run away'. It is pretty simple maths to detect loss of control in which case control should automatically be given back to the driver and so the accelerator should be released.
