High safety of automobiles is the control of the country ill-equipped to detect problems with high-tech electronics that today is more common in cars, a new study by the Government.
These shortcomings "ensure" that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is the relationship to check their skills and techniques to appoint an Advisory Committee to assist in the potentially serious risks for assessing the appeal of associated systems such as adaptive cruise control.
Despite these conclusions, the Consiglio nazionale delle ricerche in a 162-page report found that NHTSA was the decision to close the investigations properly sudden acceleration in Toyota Motor Corp. vehicles and supports his conclusion that there is no evidence that an electronic error caused the problem.
However, the spread of keyboards for computers brings new challenges to the NHTSA, and the Agency must plan the future of electronics in vehicles, said Louis j. Lanzerotti ", Professor of physics at the Institute of technology in New Jersey and Chairman of the Committee, the author of the report.
NHTSA study took in March 2010 in operation was commissioned to evaluate "the broad theme of vehicle electronics and unintended acceleration." in its entirety
The report, but largely on questions of Toyota's problems, which led the automobile manufacturer to issue a notice of appeal over 14 million dollars worldwide. Also called for Congressional hearings, record fines and feared that unknown electronic errors in today's vehicles could represent a security risk.
However, Lanzerotti, said that he knew every death all electronic systems in each vehicle, a dispute all the security in question supported.
According to the NRC as the operational arm of the National Academy of Sciences, NHTSA paid 1.3 million for the study, had delayed seven months.
Agency of automobiles "NHTSA has already taken steps to his experience in electronic control systems, strengthen" said Wednesday. "But NHTSA continues to evaluate and improve to protect all aspects of its work to the public".
16 members of the NRC Committee investigations NHTSA and Toyota throttle systems NASA study. Consumer advocates also spent met, scientists and manufacturers of cars, including all day with representatives of Toyota Irvine, Lanzerotti.
His report concluded that NTHSA do not have the technical expertise to properly monitor security electronics control nearly every automaker rapid system. To work around this, is a series of measures, including the appointment of a technological advances of outside technical advisory group, NHTSA, to maintain the recommended care. These results reflect the conclusions made by NHTSA himself more than a year ago when he concluded that "increased his experience in new technologies and the automotive electronics".
The contrast between the two results of NRK, NHTSA closed correctly, Toyota electronic don't blame on a sudden acceleration and yet at the same time knowledge is missing-how dazzling propose some interested parties.
NRC "implies that NHTSA Keystone Cops, electronic studying butterflies, but gives them a thumbs up for their studies [sudden acceleration]," said Brian strange, that Los Angeles has alleged economic damage related to the problem of acceleration are lawyer Chief Counsel in prosecutions against Toyota.
Lanzerotti said that its Committee responsible for the execution of any new research on the problem and examines existing documents simply to unintended acceleration. He said that none of the individual complaints, and still she examines the driver set checks if complaints continue to correct calls to paste the pedals and floor Mount, carpet could jam the throttle.
Toyota, which welcomes numerous State and federal prosecutions deals with the study. "' the NAS Toyota believes the NAS for their valuable work on automotive electronics and the patent process, he maintained during his investigation," Toyota said in a statement to the National Academy of Sciences, which controls the NRC. "We share the goal of NAS and NHTSA, make sure that America's vehicles."
