It isn't just Toyotas. Just over a year ago, the first Airbus 380-600, the world's biggest and most advanced airliner got her first run-up under the control of the delivery crew. They accidentally released the brakes, didn't throttle back, and went right into the wall. There were so many confusing factors that the obvious solution seemed to be overridden.
I've heard that the Titanic could have been saved by steaming in reverse, using the pressure difference familiar to most everyone here. Captain Smith had gotten there by the luck of never having dealt with an emergency, and the naval architects on board were mezmerized by the buoyancy calculations.
