No one cares about accelerating the gas pedal, and the throttle sensor is certainly not the only way to tell if the car is accelerating, not even the only sensor the car currently has.
Currently the VDC has to determine traction and wheelslip by measuring and comparing tire rotational speed at all corners. What if we turn off A/C when ever there is a 10% increase in tire rotational speed over the measurement period and the tires are all the same speed (i.e. not turning)?
