Again, no visible cause for the "veering off" the road to the right.
The identity of the main "witness", who reportedly was a 37-year old woman from Klagenfurt is still unknown. Expect soon an "exclusive" story with all kind of unnecessary "facts"...
Today comments emerged in the dailies by those inhabitants of that house whose garden-fence was ereased completely in the night by the "accident". They declared themselves as "true Haider-supporters" - and they even told that they had painted their house in Orange(!) because of their "visible support" of Dr.Haider's party BZOE (whose party color is Orange). The woman stated that "she was shocked to hear in the morning(!) of what had happened by the officials who rang at her house, to tell her of the bad news"...
Those seem to have had a healthy, deep sleep.
Anyhow it is remarkable that the car veered off the road exactly at that point where the greatest damage could be calculated.
The "Phaeton" is equipped with a sophisticated electronics, where - by adding a simple GPS tracking system - one can record the car's position, and can control it's various crucical functions as starting, stopping, alarms, fuel shut-off, ... etc. Moreover Haider's car had an electronic accelerator system, which ran through the car's computer also.
A simple external RF control unit could control it.
The car computer controls as well a throttle position sensor (TPS) electronically controlling the fuel injection pump. This TPS set-up is like a 'drive by wire' system where the computer controls the speed/acceleration rather than the drivers foot on the go pedal, i.e. the computer normally reads the TPS and then commands the FI system accordingly.
So it would seem to be logical that there's a certain possibility that a car's computer can also be easily remotely controlled in other ways as the GPS enables, such as being given a command for a wide open throttle condition, vice versa. The result would be that someone from outside could accelerate the car at a certain point, giving very little time for the driver to respond appropriately if once caught off guard.
