It’s more of a wetware glitch.
This is the way government competes in the marketplace.
The software is set on Kamikaze OverDrive. It was adapted from WW2 Japanese Zero fighter hardware. It is in the file folder titled “Banzai!”
Nasty software bugs in 40 million cars sold on a global basis?
Only incidents are a broke grifiter with a failed porn site, who’s Prius is about to be repossessed and a cop in a Lexus loaner with floor mats that do not fit.
40 million cars with glitchy software would be crashing in every town. This is an Obama, trial lawyer, Goobermint Motors & UAW shakedown to get UAW leaches in transplant non-union factories.

L for headlights
B-B-G-L-G-L-B-B-G-G Will make your car jump to ludicrous speed. Try it, it works.
As a former software engineer, I developed software for motor drives (controls) used in industrial applications. A software bug could literally kill someone. If I had a car that depended on software to control the engine and brakes, I would install a hard-wired kill switch.
I would suppose that Toyota would greatly prefer to find out that this is a software bug— and therefore a software fix. Flashing new code into the computer is likely far, far less expensive to fix than a mechanical or design flaw.
But in any case, isolating the root cause(s) of extremely rare failure(s) is harder than it sounds.
Code ping
YES, OF COURSE!! It was a SOFTWARE GLITCH that gave us teh dreaded Mann Hocky Stick Graph, RIGHT?? You know, like the way the overdraft on your account was due to a computer error when your paycheck was deposited into somebody else’s account...if you wan to talk PROGRAMMING, you can come up with ANYTHING.
