Except for the one the cop died in.

If you're on the highway simply locking up the brakes is not an option. You'll get rear ended and probably killed. So i can easily see how the brakes would in fact be INsufficient in many scenarios in that Toyota. Ride the brakes in highway traffic, by the time you get over several lanes to the shoulder, they might be so overheated and faded that they don't work.

The cop's brakes were on fire.

There was an absolutely negligent amount of testing put into this software apparently, that lets all this happen. Coupled with a poorly designed and defective throttle pedal.....

Boom. Dead family of 4 and hundreds of such crashes in the last 7 years. (and lets not forget that the lexus also EXPLODED when it crashed.)

An independent survey showed that fully 10% of lexus customers of a certain model had experienced this event!

This is not just a media witch hunt, though i hope that it does in fact intensify. Toyota deserves to get nailed to the cross for this one.

Straight to the cross.
