“My bullcr@p meter was pegged off the board since hearing about this “incident”
What did your meter do when the CHP veteran was killed in a Toyota runaway acceleration? This case may be a hoax, but it isn’t an isolated incident. There is a definite problem with this drive by wire technology.It seems to be not ready for prime time and both Toyota and the NHTSA have known it for several years
“What did your meter do when the CHP veteran was killed in a Toyota runaway acceleration?”
To be quite honest about it, the meter almost pegged itself on that one also. I still have a hard time believing that modern day brakes, built to be 5 times more powerful as the accompanying car’s engine, failed to stop that or any car.
So yes, sadly I do doubt the facts of that case.
