I agree. And couldn’t Sikes just turn the key off or shift the gear into neutral? That was my first thought! He’s gotta be a demoRAT, especially with this latest news!

“..Yeah...Toyota have a mystery “black box” installed ...so they can get a detailed print out of what happened...or not.

Actually, the ECU that controls the powertrain holds at the least the last 30 seconds of the operating conditions of the car, including throttle position and braking force. You can bet that the Toyota engineers are downloading and analyzing that info.

I’m wondering how many folks will want to see how fast their cars will go, get on the gas and if caught claim sticky throttles. My cr is drive by wire.......oh no help me!!
