HEY! Leave Woz alone! His Prius rocketed from 35-100 in just 60 minutes!

There's the story from the man that drove the Camry in San Diego.

Not the cop that died, but the driver who had that very same car
immediately before the cop.

Normally - CEOs act as the lead Public relations/sales manager
of a firm - the best they can do is either deny something, agree
with you, or say they'll get back to you with an answer later.
Having CEO appear before Congress - is not going to be a
fact-finding-hearing but more of a public grievance and tongue
lashing session. Which is what happens in most public
hearing (the outcome is already pre-determined by actions
occuring outside and before the public hearing ).


For immediate answers for a technical qustion - the two persons
in manufacturing that are much more likely to know the answer
on the spot are the Project/Lead R&D Engineer and the
Project/Lead Testing Engineer for a particular product. While
some Toyotas are not made in Japan - they are all designed,
developed, and tested in Japan so all the engineers would
most likely need a Japanese Translator who specialized
in translating computer technology, engineering, and
scientific works ( who probably would also be an engineer
or scientist as well). Needless to say Toyota's engineers and
Dr. David Gilbert are not in agreement at this time.

Check out the story of Kevin Haggerty. He was even able to bring it
into the dealership while it was happening. He had even previously
reported the same problem and the dealership couldn't find a problem.

It's kinda hard to blame it on the driver when it's sitting at the
dealership accelerating on it's own.

The 'very same car' the cop got killed in was a Lexus...
