I have a drive by wire accelerator and I suspect that it is nothing more than a potentiometer on the pedal end, which means that the throttle is controlled by the changing voltage drop on the throttle end. By tapping into the connector at the pedal, I think an arduino or other processor could simulate voltage levels to control the throttle by using pulse width management.
