The current ongoing spectacle by our congress belies a shallowness I hadn't expected. The arrogance on display is staggering. The berating of a company (that has a history of quality and a history of providing sound productive jobs for our country) without actual conclusive evidence that a problem exists is a true embarrassment to our country. We don't have congressmen, we have sanctimonious bullies lost in a fog of power. Our congress doesn't seem to be aware that it is they who suck from the teat of Toyota's productivity and good character and that, although they may have profited in terms of political capital from the corporate bashing of the 70's and 80's, times have likely changed.
Car and Driver did some testing to see it the brakes were able to stop a V6 Camry at speed and full throttle. Result: The Camry stopped.
They also tried shifting the car into neutral and park. This, C&D claimed, was the best solution to any unintended acceleration.
Turning the car off, they found, was the least desirable choice as the loss of power steering and power brakes soon follows.
According to Car and Driver:
In the end I hope Americans are bothered by the one-way street of respect displayed by our representatives.

In the end.....we found no major deficiencies with the
Camry’s ability to defuse an unintended-acceleration situation.
