I saw it... Toyota is going to have a hard time recovering from this. I was stunned by that lady describing how her Lexus accelerated to 100 mph and for 6 minutes nothing she did would slow it down.

I knew they were in trouble after I saw that interview from the Microsoft guy talking about how Toyota wouldn't listen to his warnings about a computer glitch in his Prius.


A lot of cars now use electronic throttle controls, i.e. a throttle position sensor connected to the PCM. But they said something about it being a wireless connection in the Toyota/Lexus which, if correct, is news to me.
