That's the clip "the news" keeps playing... But I think that guy was talking about the "brake/throttle override." Complete spin job.

I guess I should clarify what I'm saying... The congressional panel asked, "So fixing the floormat and gas pedal will solve this?" (Something to that effect) The Toyota manager replies, "No..." Then they quickly stop the clip. GRRRRRRR! He was saying more, but the media only will stop the interview there! Gross, just gross.
