I didn't know a Prius could go that fast.
If my car was doing that, and the brakes didn't work, I'd turn off the engine
or put the transmission in neutral but I would NOT reach for the phone at 90 mph.
Something does not smell right.

but I would NOT reach for the phone at 90 mph.

Let's see....

1)Get out of city traffic for more room, check

2)Get on the freeway and step on it to pass another car, mashing the pedel to the metal, cause that is what is needed to get that thing up to speed to "overtake"..check

Oh oh, now going 90 + mph, car feels kinds squirrelly, no need to panic however,, let's see, kill power to motor? Nope, shift to neutral? nope, apply brakes? nope......hm, what to do , what to do...

Oh, wait, this IS a toyota. (picks up phone), "Hello? uh,, I have a problem..."

Yea, what’s up with all these folks making a phone call while their car is driving wide open?

When this “problem” first gained widespread attention I commented then that if you have a wreck in a Toyota all you have to do is claim it took off by itself. Instant money.

Toyota should buy this guys car and duplicate the problem. Or better yet, send it to an automotive engineering firm and see if they can duplicate it. I will 100% guarentee that they can’t.
