You may remember a year or two ago, as the US economy was stumbling all over the place and major US auto manufacturers were being bailed out by taxpayers courtesy of the Federal government, there was a rash of accidents reported involving Toyota vehicles that suddenly accelerated uncontrollably resulting in accidents.  The news made major headlines and received lots of airtime on the radio.  Could it be that the number one car manufacturer in the world (and major competitor for struggling US automakers) was in fact producing faulty vehicles, possible with computer related control issues?
