There is no way a "not real-world conditions" argument could be made if this same test was done on a test track. No automaker would even try it because it would generate even more bad press. The "researchers" did the test on a public, in-use highway for better press/cool factor. Completely irresponsible.

- nulltype 11y agoInteresting! How does Toyota's code compare to other car manufacturers?
- jblow 11y agoPerfect point! The fact that you think that was the outcome of the investigation is due to the huge amount of money Toyota spent denying the problem.
