The end game of making cars for idiots.

Idiots drive them.

The U.S. Department of Transportation has ... found that at the time of the crashes, throttles were wide open and the brakes were not engaged, people familiar with the findings said.

The results suggest that some drivers who said their Toyota and Lexus vehicles surged out of control were mistakenly flooring the accelerator when they intended to jam on the brakes...

The findings by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration involve a sample of reports in which a driver of a Toyota vehicle said the brakes were depressed but failed to stop the car from accelerating and ultimately crashing.

It's a bit late to get back into the game of making cars for people who actually care about the act of driving, Toyota. But, y'know, maybe not such a bad idea.

Just sayin', is all.
