He can swap a hard drive while blindfolded, and he knows some geologists.

Look again. You're talking about the wrong person.

Years ago I had a Chrysler product that developed a engine problem that
created a code. After that the car would only max out at 20mph. Just
enough to limp into the dealer to fix or re-set the code. 20 years ago
before I retired, I tested eletronic products for Test House approvals (UL,
ETL, CSA, etc). Our purpose was to assure that no matter what internal
device failed, it didn't create a deadly problem. Why can't Toyota prove
that no matter what component failed, short or open, that the car will not
exceed a safe speed? I don't believe they did their homework properly.
Removing my floor mat in my Prius is a joke. There is no way it can jam the
pedal that my foot on the mat couldn't move it away from the pedal within
seconds. The only reason I removed it (per the recall) is so if my car
becomes a run away missile at least my heirs can become Millionaires. That
doesn't comfort me. Re-designing the pedal is only a band-aide to the real
problem. Since my car was made in Japan, I'm not included.
