N.A.S.A. today released its report on the Toyota sudden acceleration catastrophe. The report which is linked at the N.A.S.A. web site, reportedly indicates that design flaws allowed Toyota vehicles to accelerate, sometimes out of control. Faulty electronics were not completely ruled out as a possibility but were "unlikely."
