Won't it be wonderful when Toyotas are just as safe as the Space Shuttle?
Nasa's safety record is that about 2% of space shuttles blow-up, killing all aboard.
Figuring about 10,000,000 Toyotas on the road in the U.S., that would mean we can look forward to about 200,000 blown up Toyotas.

The Space Shuttle's safety record seems to be a 1% chance of catastrophic failure and 1% chance of catastrophic failure on reentry.
The combined safety record of Mercury, Gemini and Apollo is ZERO catastrophic failures in >20 flights.
IMO, catastrophic failure involves complete hull loss and loss of life.

Nope....expect 3,333,333 exploding Toyotas.
Six shuttles built, two destroyed....so far.
Fully one third....great record.
