I located the throttle on the electric "car" I built in high school on the steering column to provide finer control, and reduce spikes in throttle position due to potholes.
I'm surprised a throttle hasn't been incorporated on steering wheels of conventional cars. Not only does it provide a finer level of control, but it encourages drivers to keep their hands on the wheel.
At any rate, I have a "chip" on my diesel that changes the throttle mapping, and cars such as the Prius have increasingly adopted driving modes that re-map throttle response.
