Toyota’s history of unintended acceleration 意図せざる加速に関するトヨタの歴史
California Highway Patrol Officer Mark Saylor was also driving a rental Lexus when, in 2009, his brother-in law called 911 from the backseat to report that the vehicle was accelerating unprompted and would not respond to the brakes. Moments later, the car, going as fast as 120 miles per hour, slammed into a Ford at the dead end of a highway, sending the Lexus flying into the air and into a dry riverbed, where it burst into flames. All of the vehicle’s occupants died at the scene. カリフォルニアハイウェイパトロールオフィサーのMark Saylorも、2009年に運転中の彼の兄弟姉妹が後部座席から911を呼び 車が急加速していてブレーキに反応しないと報告した。 しばらくすると、車は時速120マイルの速さで高速道路の行き止まりでフォードに激突し、レクサスは空中を跳び 乾いた河床に打ち付けられ、そこで燃え上がった。 車両の乗員全員が現場で死亡した。
But a whistleblower who contracted for Toyota executives as a company translator, as well as numerous engineers and personal injury attorneys who have sued Toyota, alleged that Toyota failed to address the root cause of the problem, which they say could be a defect in the car’s computers, as ConsumerAffairs detailed in a story last year. 翻訳者としてトヨタの幹部と契約した内部告発者、およびトヨタを訴えた多数のエンジニアと人身傷害弁護士は、トヨタが問題 の根本的な原因に対処できなかったと主張しました。 彼らは、車のコンピュータに欠陥があるかもしれないと言っています。
