I don’t know if any car is going to override the driver when their foot is to the floor on the pedal.

Well, 10 year old Skoda Fabia (something like VW Polo, small, cheap car) at work does exactly that. So yes?

So it physically won’t let you run into anything?

Well, probably not. Can't be 100% sure since it's not really a thing I'd try to proove in a company car. But it hit the brakes couple times when I was approaching car in front of me too fast for cars liking. And it hit them quite hard, accompanied with alerting sound.

Your car would not stop you flying off the road into a house while you have your foot to the floor and going 75mph.

[–] baines@lemmy.cafe 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

the car can indeed make a difference braking at 75mph

It wouldn’t prevent an accident like this.
