You can continue to try and justify your driving error with internet searches, but you will only find simple non-technical explanations of electronic throttles written for relatively ignorant consumers.
You will never “find” the root cause because you made an error. Not intentional or even aware, but the facts of the event remain unchallenged with truth. You are not alone in your experience, or your unbelieving search for the cause.
I assume you’re still driving the vehicle?

I’ve never experienced this in my ST. I have Weathertech floor mats and they fit well.

The issue I am still having with this whole thing is that my ST will apply the brakes and flash a warning on my dash before I hit something. Michelle, did this happen in this situation?

The Emergency Braking system doesn’t work below a certain speed. I believe something like under 3-4 MPH it isn’t operational.
