Even passing there's no reason to put your pedal to the metal. In those cases, it is perfectly sane for the car to be given first reading and only allow it if the sensors show clear ahead. That's just plain common sense stuff. What "edge case" could you possibly come up with otherwise?
Well, there is a very poorly designed freeway entrance ramp up in Northern California that caused this fellow some repeatable trouble due to the car detecting a potential collision and not letting him accelerate
"Obstacle detected" - blocking acceleration - very dangerous!
So there are real edge cases.
