Hello -

Ok, now I know what's really going on! It turns out that John Gomez is mixed up in all of this :

Toyota was asked in 2007 to consider installing software to prevent sudden acceleration - latimes.com

...
E-mails and a company memorandum obtained by Congress show that National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigators discussed brake override with Toyota officials in August 2007, and that in 2008, a year before the San Diego crash, the automaker ordered an internal feasibility study of the technology.
...
Attorney John Gomez, who is representing Saylor's family in a lawsuit filed against the automaker, contends the crash was avoidable.

"If there was brake override on that vehicle, then for sure those deaths would not have happened," Gomez said. "This is something that was clearly feasible long ago."
...
Now, any Blue Blazer Irregular will know that John Gomez is a Red Lectroid from Planet 10 :
