This is just an opinion here. I have a ‘97 GMC truck. I have noticed that I can, if not paying attention, place my foot on the brake and the throttle at the same time. It seems that the brake pedal is too close to the throttle to begin with. Remember the old cars where the clutch and brake pedal were further to the left on sat higher? To use the brake in those cars, you had to actually lift your foot up higher and place it on the brake pedal. Also, in today’s cars, the brake pedal is much wider. If they would cut down on the size of the pedal and move it over and inch or two, set it higher, it may solve the problem. Just a thought here.
