    Exactly what I have been telling my boss.
    There is no way to test a big software system with 3M lines of C++ codes
    and expect a bug-free system.

    BTW, my Mazda CX9 has the brake override, and the start button stops the engine
    either with 3-sec push or push it three times consecutively. Neither was implemented by Toyota. Sad.
