Toyota's $2,300,000,000 Mistake

DISCLAIMER: The imagery used in the first 46 seconds of this video is dramatized. ****** On August 28, 2009, Mark Saylor and his family were killed in a horrific car crash. The culprit? A stuck gas pedal. Shortly after, hundreds of others reported similar incidents. Everyone blamed Toyota, and the company ended up recalling 10 million vehicles in just two years. They paid a $1.2 billion fine to the US government and spent another $1.1 billion on a class-action lawsuit. But what actually went wrong in Mark Saylor's crash? And was Toyota really to blame for all of these mysterious accelerations? ****** If you enjoy this type of content, you know what to do. :) ****** The material used in this video is meant to be used for educational purposes and fall within the guidelines of fair use.
