No it is not. But one physicist, Dr.Ron Belt, has published some papers that may explain the reason for the skew toward older drivers among SUA victims. Basically, he says that their driving habits tend to deplete batteries, and the resulting unstable electrical supply shared by loaded cars and their ECUs can tend to set off software glitches in poorly written code. The pedal confusion theory is often used as a defense by automakers but it has been discredited.
