Toyota, NASA & Cosmic Rays???

Good grief...just give me a normal old fashion steel throttle cable! Can you imagine what could go wrong with these cars that park themselves when the car gets old and all those sensors start failing. http://www.theatlanticwire.com/opini...smic-Rays-3041

One part of NASA uses Metric, another one uses Inches...they don't tell each other and slam a billion dollar probe into Venus because the altimeter was supposed thinking Hey I @ 300 Meters not 300 feet...Yep they are qualified to figure out this issue.

I think NASA recruits former Harley engineers to work for them and thats the reason for such shoddy work.
