Default NASA to test Toyotas.

As reported on CNN they are to test the electronic systems on the
cars. Isn't it long overdue that these dangerous cars are taken off
our roads with the considerable doubts about their computer systems?

and

"Toyota safety recall: Nasa called in

Space agency scientists with electronics expertise to help US traffic
agency study unintended acceleration in Toyota cars.."

"...Some lawmakers have criticized NHTSA for failing to investigate
Toyota complaints earlier and more thoroughly.

"Carmakers have entered the electronics era, but NHTSA seems stuck in
a mechanical mindset," house energy and commerce committee chairman
Henry Waxman said last month. "We need to make sure the federal safety
agency has the tools and resources it needs to ensure the safety of
the electronic controls and on-board computers that run today's
automobiles."..."

I wonder if we could get NASA to test the Toyota cars in a certain
part of South-East London?

They were brought in because eco-mentalists like you wanted more
environmentally friendly cars.

2 Shuttle losses and Apollo 1 on the pad mean there have been more deaths
caused by Nasa than by Toyotas with sticking throttles..

Peter Grange gurgled happily, sounding much

No because of severe concerns about car computer systems which appear
to threaten road safety.
