While I'm not comparing a factory engineered electrical component to one of these aftermarket units...

Your car is DBW, so there's already -a device with full control over the gas pedal- which could fail.

In either case...your brakes have about 5 times the power as your engine, so if it fails open, stop the car quickly (before you overheat/fade the brakes) and get it shut off.

Or simply shut the car off right away.
