How to drive a PRIUS

that was pretty funny, but can we assume that the electronics behave the same way when its glitching out?..If the ECM is holding the car at WOT then whos to say any other electronic is working correctly.

That is what I'm thinking. That Prius seemed to be functioning properly, who knows what is really going on in those cars when the throttle does stick.

when i bought my REVO the radio was glitching out, no matter what input i tried is still Glichted WOT..could be full lock left barely above idle an it would take off like a bat out of hell strait across the field WOT out of nowere.
Same principle here id imagine..working perfectly fine untill it doesnt..then all bets are off..
 
There are BMWs now that won't go into Drive while the drivers door is open, I keep getting tricked by that one moving cars around :D
 
Lol, that was sweet, a bit vulgar though, lol. It makes sense though, the throttle is electronic, the brakes are mechanical-they can't be shut down by electronics. Why everyone has gone to a drive-by-wire system is beyone me. It's pretty funny, my boss and I were talking about this like 7 years ago when this crap came out, "wonder how long 'till that fails at full throttle".
