Ha ha.
From what I've heard it's a programming snafu. Apparently, most cars with ETC have algorithms that can detect if the accelerator is physically stuck, and intervene, but Toyota's programming was evidently performed by Rastafarians. Probably the same guys who programmed my buddies Scion sunroof, which had a service bulletin for a software glitch that prevented it from doing anything but laughing at you when you pushed the button. IMHO, many things are computerize simply because it's possible.
