Well said, Bruce. It's the independent checking aspect that I think is missing from Toyota's electronic throttle control system. All their other band-aids; fastened floor mats, reworked floor pan, redesigned pedal geometry and linkage, and brake override software patch; are all masking what I think is a fundamentally deficient control design. All of their actions will help cut the occurrences way down. But as painful and expensive as it's going to be, I still don't think they are addressing the true root cause, which will cost even more time and money. And that is a dangerous tactic for them to take, because if even one car that has had every one of the above fixes takes off out of control and kills it's occupants, then Toyota is done for an entire generation.
