Toyota has posted 5 videos to share their preliminary findings in the James Sikes case of alleged sudden acceleration. All 5 are embedded below, but the first one is probably the most interesting. It shows many different camera angles of Sikes' 2008 Prius being tested going to high speeds and then using the brake override system to stop the car. The 2nd, 3rd, and 4th videos are from the actual press conference yesterday and are worth watching, as they provide more information than what was layed out in yesterday's press release. The 4th video in particular addresses the media reports that Mr. Sikes had been turned away from his local dealership (El Cajon) when he brought his Prius in recently.
