gas pedal not connected to throttle

Was told the gas pedal on 2001 TTR is actually electrical input rather than mechanically connected to throttle. Anyone know how this works?

all TT's are DBW or Drive by Wire. It is 100% electronic

it uses actuators and sensors that determine the throttle position and adjust the throttle body accordingly.

Interesting little thing with this....if you brake while accelerating the car will cut out throttle

Did this a while ago when someone was asking a related Q....don't do it on anything but a deserted road!
Perhaps this was because of the "unintended acceleration" problem of yore? or better braking performance? or just superior programming in the ECU
