I think Toyata and Edmonds are concluding that this might be a hoax because there is a safeguard built it in the Prius that the brake will override the acceleration by default.

Although the 911 operator instructed the driver to push Neutral, the driver however never did it.

I like the fact now the computer actually records driving data, so that they can find out exactly what happened at the same time improve things over time (with new models).

I know that Apple is planning on including a "black-box" device on all of their products soon to prevent people abusing the warranty.
