A Modest Proposal for Toyota: Release the Code!
,----[ Quote ]
| Things look bad for Toyota. There was yet
| another unintended acceleration incident
| involving a Toyota yesterday. A Prius in New
| York on its way to the dealership to have its
| gas-pedal checked out crashed into a stone
| wall.
|
| Toyota has always maintained that its
| unintended acceleration problems are
| mechanical in nature. If it wasnât a bunched-
| up floor mat itâs a sticky gas pedal.
| Customers and regulators have their own
| theories however. They suspect the electronic
| throttle control, or ECT.

The Toyota Recall and the Case for Open, Auditable Source Code

| Finally, in response to the controversy,
| Sequoia Voting Systems announced last October
| that their new voting machines would be based
| on publicly available source code and open
| architectures, noting that â[s]ecurity through
| obfuscation and secrecy is not securityâ and
| that â[f]ully disclosed source code is the
| path to true transparency and confidence in
| the voting process for all involved.â
