    That’s true; Toyota needed the appearance of doing something to “fix” the “problem.” I’d argue that the feature was never actually necessary, though.

    I also wouldn’t be surprised if, as those 2012+ vehicles age, the extra complexity ends up causing more problems (e.g. from failing switches cutting the accelerator signal when they shouldn’t) than it ever prevented.
