Toyota managers on TV to apologise for recall and still the press highlight more concerns as the company gets more nervy. I wonder how much brand value this has cost the company.

But having computers control your throttle position with no secondary back up in place or at-least some kind of override when you put your brakes on is not good. You would expect more forward thinking from scientists at Toyota.
