Actually, most people are considered idiots by some others. And that's a problem also.

Very Happy

I think it is important to take the context of his video. You need to look at the recent media hyperbole, in particular the USA networks.

So.. with that in mind. That video above IS INSANELY FUNNY!

And if you buy a car, and have a license to drive it, and do NOT know how to stop it, you are an idiot. Its a fact, not opinion.

I know they recalled cars for some braking problem.

I'll look into that, but if the issue exists because of idiots acting fu**ing crazy, that's competition idiocy... Lol

Btw, the guy had me laughing a lot.

Ok I don`t have a Prius but please let me take position for all the
concerned Prius drivers. If you drive your new car and
suddenly the engine spins up (another current problem with
the pedals) without pushing the gas and you want to brake
but also the brakes are acting strange I want to see your face!
Especially I would like to see the face of the hoodman altough
I think he would cope it fast (especially if you have heard what
might be wrong with your car BEFORE such shit happens).
However I think the most of us would figure out how to stop the
car within a minute. But some people with bad nerves might
get into panic due to that really uncommon situation.
I hate cars with 5+ control units aboard... yea computers
are reliable but who is programming them?

Thats ALL cars, a modern 2009+ car has over 100 computers in it, a Prius has close to 200 and over 2 million lines of code.
