Prius Chief Engineer Otsuka's Media Presentation

Quote:

While in Napa for the Prius Media Preview event, Toyota held a morning session of presentations. Included here is the audio from Chief Engineer Otsuka's presentation.
Some of the most interesting information from the presentation was about how more than 2,000 Toyota engineers worked on the 3rd Generation Prius project. Chief Otsuka had 100 team leaders reporting to him, who were assigned to each critical area of the car's development, such as powertrain, chassis, hybrid system, styling and safety.

Anyone have the time or gumption to transcribe this? Good info, but hard to understand. :-(

I have the text and will work on transcribing it as soon as I have a chance. My scanner is unfortunately broken

Thanks for sharing! This is very informative indeed. I had a hard time understanding what he's trying to say, but still I learned something new.

Any word on the transcription? I think it'd help a lot to read along w/the audio.
