We've heard Steve Woz (http://gizmodo.com/5462806/a-frustrated-steve-woz-talks-about-his-toyota-prius-on-video) talk about the acceleration issue (http://gizmodo.com/5462004/steve-wozniak-explains-that-faulty-software-caused-his-car-troubles) with his Prius and our friends at Jalopnik have been covering Toyota's whole recall mess (http://jalopnik.com/tag/beigebitesback/). The entire time software and electronics were blamed for the issues, but now Toyota President Akio Toyoda is telling the House oversight committee that "he is "absolutely confident" that the electronics of Toyota's gas pedal systems are not the source" of these problems.
Guess it must be the floor mats again. [SF Gate (http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/n/a/2010/02/24/national/w120033S95.DTL&tsp=1#ixzz0gUNYMCTa)]
