And I'd argue there's really no reason it couldn't be much more complicated than a rheostat and a static circuit to get the desired curve. I can't find the actual circuitry, but I'd not be surprised if that was what the EV1 did in the 90s. Software adds flexibility, it isn't a necessity.

Low-voltage wring and sensors to the pedal are cheaper and lighter and probably less susceptible to some failure modes.
