Woz on Unintended Acceleration

Wed Feb 3 2010

Audi owner had a pretty specious claim in my opinion, that for no reason their cars just suddenly accelerated. But it caused lots of problems for Audi. 

Understand the original Apple computer, which became the popular Apple II, was invented in the proverbial garage in California. The inventor was Steve Wozniak, not Steve Jobs. Now Wozniak

claims that his Prius accelerates when using the cruise control and that it is a software problem. 

This is a real problem for Toyota since

he actually has a legitimate story, there may be a software problem withe the cruise control

This is a noted computer expert

This coming on top of the accelerator problem is truly a nightmare.  Once a stock tops out, there is usually only one path left, down.

    Well I believe that this was Wozniak chance to have his imput on TV about the Toyota Prius. I think that there are many problems in all vehicle but just becuase toyota is having a huge recall this is way make his point in fame because he is and inventor for Apple and notice that there was a problem in the computer not the breaks. I feel that toyota is going through a tough time and will correct the problem. As for the prius, the makers of the computer will look into the situation for all makes and models.

    This doesn’t look good for Toyota stockholders. With production of new Toyota’s put on hold until this problem is resolved maybe they should outsource their workder to the dealerships to get the required repairs taken care of.
