It's a question of system design. On some cars - GM I believe is a good
example - applying the brake overrides the accelerator (same as applying
the brake while in cruise control)
Apparently Toyota's does not do that.
So regardless of root cause there are other factors in play, depending on
the particular car make system design, which may not have the same
disastrous consequences as those in the Toyota examples even if the same
fault were occurring.

I have to ask: why is this happening more to Toyota cars than to other
brands?
Don't they have similar construction?

One more article regarding the hearing. This one focuses on EMI
"Could electronics be what's causing runaway cars?"
