5 Minutes of Interesting: Toyota Acceleration Hype

All the news about Toyota's cars accelerating out of control has blown a small problem way out of proportion, only a handfull of cases have actually been reported where a toyota has accelerated out of control with the driver not being able to stop it. However the media scare has people thinking that all Toyota's are deathtraps and the company is not doing a thing about it. However Toyota is working on solutions but the problem is they do not exactly know what the problem is other than the gas peddle getting stuck. Also, with the hype there has been at least one hoax; the runaway prius that was brought to a stop by cops has been a shady story, as it turns out the driver was gassing it and only applying light brake pressure. He may have done this to attempt to sue Toyota and get a large sum of money since he was $700,000 in debt.
