    It must be that secret 'age detector' chip that switches the brake and accelerator function in the vehicle software . . . the Joy Ordering Kinky Error Routine (JOKER).

    Funny how these prius accidents are all over the news while it is only a small portion of the country/worlds car accident that is happening daily involved a prius/Toyota hybrid. I would say maybe 97% of automobile accident daily are of a gas engine car not hybrids.
