Something that no one seems to be doing: get the data from the ECU. The
ECU will store the conditions the car was operating under prior to the
accident and can be retrieved, showing speed, throttle position, attempts
at braking, etc.

So far the people claiming accidents caused by UA have not mentioned the
ECU. I'm willing to bet once the data is pulled from the units the amount
of claims will drop substantially.
