Toyota Unintended Acceleration and the Big Bowl of "spaghetti" Code(2013)

(Apparently the Rimac Nevera, with about 2000hp, can accelerate faster than it brakes. So that one might be the only exception. So unless you're driving a 2000hp car, the brakes will always overpower the engine, that is not debatable.)

Brake fade is irrelevant here. Brakes fade when overheated beyond their operating range, either due to fluid boiling and/or the pads overheating. This is nearly impossible to achieve in street driving, but can be experienced on the race track. None of the claimed acceleration accidents involved extreme repeated braking prior to the incident.

Toyota issued multiple engine controller updates. All mfgs do, all the time.

There are no changelogs.

It would also matter what their typical car lifecycle is, it could have been just before refresh so only effected a couple years.

It could have also been bad floor mats.

We’ll never know - but the point is, that their code was so bad you COULD never know.

After all, was the error in the first line a typo on my side, or a single-bit upset?

A while ago some researchers registered off-by-one-bit domain name typos, which due to physical key positioning were unlikely to be the result of genuine mistyping. I can't find a reference right now, but I recall them getting quite a lot of queries!

I have left memtest86+ running on a few dozen GB of memory for several days during burn-in testing, definitely more than enough to pass the "once per 256MB per month" threshold, and did not encounter any errors.
