My wife experienced a similar event when parking her 2004 Thunderbird in the garage one evening (shortly after buying it). The T-Bird has EXTREMELY close gas and brake pedals. She at first thought the car "did it by itself" but after we discussed the issue and she showed me where she placed her foot, she even agreed that it was her doing and not the car.
Not to say that a drive-by-wire system cannot be the source of this type of problem, but "most" of the time it's the human involved in the situation.
The one "by wire" system I'm just not ready for, call me old if you want, is steering-by-wire. Not having direct control over where the front wheels are pointing seems real scary to me.
I'm just glad to hear that CoronaDan had the presence of mind to take corrective action when it occurred.
