From: john on 3 Feb 2010 22:19 "Feb. 3 (Bloomberg) -- Count Apple Inc. co-founder Steve Wozniak among Toyota Motor Corp. car owners who say their vehicles accelerate unintentionally. Wozniaks 2010 Toyota Prius can unintentionally accelerate to as much as 97 miles (156 kilometers) per hour when he uses cruise control to increase his speed, he said in an interview yesterday. Toyota and the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration havent responded to his complaints in the past two months on what may be a software- related glitch, he said. Its scary when it happens, Wozniak, 59, said from San Jose, California. Ive had trouble getting both the government safety agency and getting Toyota to listen to me." http://www.businessweek.com/news/2010-02-03/apple-co-founder-says-his-prius-has-acceleration-flaw-update1-.html

From: john on 4 Feb 2010 00:04 Toyota offered to "borrow" Steve Wozniak's Prius. My guess is that by the time they're done "studying" it the Feds won't be able find any fault with the Prius. ;) ;) ;)
