- firebaze 3y agoCan you please provide some links? As far as I know there are no credible references. Also, my whole family drives Toyotas for at least 40+ years, so I both have a real interest to know if that occurs, and I also have some anecdotal evidence it doesn't occur. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sudden_unintended_acceleration#Sudden_acceleration_in_Toyota_vehicles https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sudden_unintended_acceleration...

The code quality can be best described as criminally negligent, unsafe, spaghetti garbage with incorrect concurrency sprinkled on top for laughs.
