Some Toyotas have a laser controlled device in their cruise control that will automatically decelerate if overtaking a slower moving vehicle, then automatically accelerate when you change to a clear lane. I have such a vehicle and the first time it happened to me I was startled.
I didn’t start a software company but I do understand my own vehicle.
That might explain why Toyota didn’t appear to be concerned (according to Woz).

The laser light assembly probably could be rendered inoperable or erratic by driving through a mud puddle, don’t you suppose?
