> I almost certainly couldn't buy a Toyota ever again knowing this. What makes you think any other car company is different/better?

  That's what I mean; I don't necessarily think it is (which is scary). Maybe we only got to know how horribly flawed the software situation is at Toyota because they had finally had enough people killed that they just couldn't keep it hidden any longer, and Audi and Honda are just as bad and just haven't yet had this kind of exposure event. I would prefer to doubt that, but it does all kind of make me want to buy a restored 1978 Datsun with carburetors and mechanical everything.

    This makes me want a Tesla. That company actually seems to hire qualified engineers given the failure modes it's had in the exceedingly rare cases of accidents that have thus far made the news.

    Idk... there was an article on here a while ago about how after the Ford/Firestone tires = death incidents a decade and a half ago actually resulted in Ford making much better quality cars.

      If this didn't result in Toyota making better cars, I think that would be an indication that human society is fundamentally broken.
