As was expected, NASA today delivered their investigative results into the Toyota "unintended acceleration" incidents. As expected, the results came back negative: NO direct cause found.

They found no "Electronic" cause.
Sticky throttle pedals, and floor mat problems confirmed as causes. Also confirmed, Toyota is a shitbag of a company for hiding throttle complaints for years while the fatalities stacked up. |

Disappointing this got published the way it did in some cases...If you say it enough times the right way...it becomes true.
Thanks for the missing pieces, A_Username. |
