There is a conversation going on at the Locost.com site about Toyota's unintended acceleration problems. This very interesting video of a women testifying before Congress was posted.

Can you believe that? You cannot apply the brakes without going through the computer. I don't see any way Toyota can determine what is causing all the problems. It appears the only function the driver has 100% control of is the steering. I think we are going to see some backpeddling by auto manufacturers on the computerization of essential controls.
