Seems that Toyota has still not been able to understand what caused the sudden acceleration in their cars which resisted all attempts by the driver to stop the car. The brake problems turn out to have been a glitch in the programming which can be corrected in half an hour by reprogramming but they are still trying to work out the accelerator problem according to the testimony in front of Congress. For us, of the older generation, it is like a case of ' I told you so.' Computers are not to be trusted. Software problems are common and a computer often crashes for no accountable reason. There numerous malicious people creating viruses, malware, worms for no reason other than to cause pain to others. In Toyota's case is it possible that someone inserted a virus in the programs controlling accelerators and brakes. Say a disgruntled employee with a grudge against the company or the parts supplier. Or a person employed by a competitor who stands to gain by the fall in sales of Toyota cars. Or even a deviant who is thrilled by pictures of crashed cars. Could the glitch have been caused by electromagnetic radiation from a cell phone tower or even the owner's cell phone. One could argue that all cars today have such components and no other company has experienced problems so far. It may be because no one has been able to work out how to alter programs in cars until now but now that one person has learnt how to do it he could pass it along to others. Much like hackers do. Let us hope that it is just some dirt on the chip and nothing more serious.
