Cosmic Rays and Toyotas!

The exclamation point above seems appropriate. Who would have thought that cosmic rays might play a role in the sudden acceleration problem plaguing Toyotas? Yet this is, indeed, the focus of a new investigation by the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration. The article referenced here tells more.

Of course, cosmic rays have nothing to do with defective floor mats. (They may, however, have something to do with bad drivers who seemingly have managed to drive their Toyotas into walls. But this is another story.) The upshot is that Toyota remains culpable for numerous cases of sudden acceleration.

It will be interesting to see the results of this unexpected hypothesis involving cosmic rays.
