The number one car company in the world could do no wrong in the consumers eyes. Toyotas rolled off  the assembly lines and out of the showrooms around the world by the millions.  Glistening show rooms purred with pride as General Motors and Chrysler filed for bankruptcy, closing plants and dealerships around the world. Hummer, Saab, Jaguar, Volvo and Opel hit the auction block in a fire sale of distress.

Yes, Toyota was poised to rule the highways of the world as had General Motors in it’s day.  But,something went wrong…very very wrong..It seems that Toyotas had developed a mind of their own just like Hal in the movie 2001 A Space Odyssey…Hal was the computer aboard a space ship who decided to take over the ship and kill it’s crew..  Toyotas  on board computer systems began to take over the control of the cars they guided and began killing their drivers and passengers..hurtling them at full throttle into on coming traffic,trees,buildings and over embankments..  Technology has challenged  and called into question who will dominate the world …man or machine..
