CNN said on its website Toyota engineers had found an electronic software problem that caused sudden unintended acceleration in a test vehicle during pre-production trials, citing an internal engineering report, in Japanese, that it had obtained and translated.

I'm no fan of Toyota but this CNN story was completely bogus. In it they said that engineers had been able to produce unintended acceleration on a pre-production model due to its adaptive cruise control but they also said that no cars with adaptive cruise control were sold in the U.S. That little fact didn't stop them, however, because they just kept on going with the idea that that may have been the cause of unintended acceleration cases in the U.S.
