[AccessD] OT: They call it a 'Glitch'

Hum...well to me a "glitch" implies simply that something didn't work as it
should, major or minor. In other words, something went wrong.

And ultimately, I think Toyota will discover that it is the electronics.  In
talking with a friend, they apparently mounted it up in (or near) the wheel
well.

Ford learned their lesson with this with their cruise control many years
ago; BAD IDEA.

Jim.

You know what gripes me?  The use of the word 'glitch' to describe the
software problems in the Toyotas:

"Experts say a glitch in Toyota's "Electronic Throttle Control System" would
be much more expensive and problematic than faulty floor mats. " 

To my mind a glitch is a minor bug that doesn't affect the functionality of
a program - an annoyance, for which there is a convenient workaround until
the 'glitch' can be corrected.

This seems to be a mission critical software problem.  Not, IMO, a 'glitch'.
