Nah that’s been proven as bullshit. In ICE vehicles brakes will always win vs engine torque. Just think; how quickly does your car go from 0-60, and how quickly can it go from 60-0? Brakes are just more powerful than ICE engines in production cars. They have to be to meet braking distance regulations. So, even with the accelerator down and engine going full throttle, brakes should still stop a car.
Now I’m not sure about electric cars, some of them have incredible torque and are designed to use regenerative braking. The disk brakes might just be supplemental and not strong enough.
That’s a big reason for the “unintended acceleration” issue that plagued older Toyotas and Audis.

I was replying to the comment about the accelerator still functioning when the brakes are depressed.
