That barr report directly rebuts that NASA report. I don't know the ins and outs of any of these and i'm sure some floor mats have caused it but i highly doubt that hundreds of deaths are attributed to it without there being some kind of manufacturing defect. the guy was a chp officer that had to take really intensive high speed driving courses and also had car issues before that eye witnesses attested to. if anyone was well equipped to drive a car it was him and the extenuating circumstances seem to point to other factors than a floor mat. I've never bought that since the floor mat had to do two contradictory things at once... both pin the accelerator down and also simultaneously prevent the brake from engaging. for that to happen more than once is very hard to believe. it really seems like a canard thrown out by toyota so it wouldn't cause panic about their car software.
