"Toyota has ordered dealers to inspect their cars after a floor mat was suspected of snaring the accelerator pedal of a Lexus that crashed in San Diego County and killed four."
Those floor mats are in their product, that makes it their problem. And dear god did you lose money on Audi or something? When a car suddenly accelerates, I can't imagine the inexperienced or even some experienced drivers will think "Geesh, brakes are always more powerful than engines.." Most likely they are thinking, oh crap let's not hit anything and what to do. That's not even taking into account where they are when this happens. I know, you are always calm, cool and collected and the perfect driver... not everyone out there is as lucky as you though.
