2010 brake failure - unintended acceleration

[OTB]

from the discussion above, I would certainly claim cars have gotten WORSE in the past 10 years (ok, probably 30 years). The thing I love most about my '07 yaris is the things it doesn't have: (abs, tpms, power windows and mirrors, sunroof, traction control, etc.) Just more stupid $hit to deal with. Why the hell does a yaris come with traction control? Do mopeds come with traction control too nowadays?

I'm a huge car fan, and it breaks my heart to see what the manufacturers offer nowadays (most likely due to their majority market.)

What if....we were actually responsible for controlling our vehicle or inspecting our own vehicle for safe operation? No, instead, we'll just make a sensor for that, then the sensor will fail, then.....
