    Someone answer me this. Why did vehicle manufacturers replace mechanical, cable-operated throttles with electronically controlled ones?

      @johno9507 6 лет назад +4

      palebeachbum. Its far easier to integrate cruise control, stability & traction, control, abs, vvt, auto transmissions into a car with electronic throttles as the computer can decide the level of engine torque needed and it requires a lot fewer components.
      Their are also benefits for pollution control.

    Read the report and make your own conclusions. There were small electronic failures found that COULD explain some complaints, including tin whiskers, failed brake switches, and failed temperature sensors.

    There _IS_ no brake override in most Toyota drive-by-wire systems like other brands have, and it's hard to remember to hold down the start button for 3.0 seconds when you're going 100 mph in traffic.

    @howiseethings According to the annual Cars.com American-Made Index the Camry tops the list once again (for the third straight year) due not only to having its production based in American (at both the Georgetown, Ky. and Lafayette, Ind. Toyota plants), but because 80 percent of its parts are also made-in-America. To qualify for the list a vehicle has to have at least 75% of its parts made in the U.S.A.

    @lrd9999 I still say that a properly functioning brake system should slow down your car at any speed, especially considering that most cars are 2-wheel driven, and half of the brake force is applied to non-engine-driven wheels, making these wheels easy to stop. But let say you indeed have old or somehow malfunctioning brakes -- there are still ways to stop: you can always shift in neutral or shut the engine altogether. Even with the loss of power steering, one can easily pull over at speed.

    @urielstud There is a bit of confusion as to what a "brake override" means.
    I think it's a specific term describing an interface which cuts of gas when brake is applied, right? I think most drive-by-wire cars indeed have that.
    But there is also a common sense meaning, that the brake must OVERRIDE the engine. Even if your engine is revving, and the gas is not cut off, applying the brake must stop the car.
    And if it's hard for someone to remember how to stop at 100mph, THEY SHOULD NOT DRIVE!!!

  • @RickDeckardMemories
    @RickDeckardMemories 13 лет назад

    @lrd9999 The point I am trying to make is this: automobiles are complex systems, and drivers are supposed to be ultimately responsible while operating them. If the driver does not know how to stop a car with a stuck gas pedal, that person should not be a driver!
    I drive a yellow cab in Manhattan. 3 weeks ago I rear-ended another cab on an icy road. Was the ice at fault? No. I was. I was going too fast, did not leave enough room.
    One cannot blame the car for own inability to operate it.

    It is NTSB not NASA....I don't know what to think.... Even if it is not electronic it seems that the pedal design may contribute to the problem, Audi's in the 1970's had the same issue, and it was not electronics, it was the placement of gas and brake pedal. Now I think I WOULD NEVER DO IT, put if you stomped on the brake (but it's really gas) and the car talks off you might just instinctively press harder on the brake (but it's really gas). I find it hard to believe but people do it.

  • @clunkerboy1
    @clunkerboy1 12 лет назад

    @howiseethings The two most American cars aren't, well, American, according to a new ranking by our friends at Cars.com. For the third straight year, Toyota Camry, a product of Japan's largest automaker, is the "most American car," as determined by Cars.com's formula. Honda Accord, the flagship of Japan's second largest automaker, is second.

      NASA was not allowed to properly or fully study the problem, they were given a very short deadline to study the issue.
      There are millions of scenarios that would have to be tested with the new computer controlled gas pedals.
      This is fake news and your fake government protecting their corporate sponsors.
      I hope this helps you understand how corrupt corporate America works.

Work an lawyer would not do. And my car had the defective parts that were recalled but I had to go to the dearler and they all said my car is fine. This corporation admits to using 3rd party parts. The engine block metal cracks because they have carbon (ashes) as an alloy. And my car stalls sometimes and I smell gas in the cab.

    the brake IS stronger.
    the properly functioning brake system ALWAYS overrides any "unintended" acceleration.
    these are the people who say otherwise:
    1. incompetent idiots who do not know their car works.
    2. scam artists who bet on incompetence of idiots listening to them.
    3. seniors, teens, and other incompetent drivers who simply mistake pedals (not on purpose).
    4. those who apply the wrong pedal, realize this, but never admit that, blaming mystical "car problems", rather than own mistake.

    • @paulcoenen7918
      @paulcoenen7918 6 лет назад

      So try this smart ass.
      Bring your car to 65mph then press the gas to the floor then apply the brakes with your other foot while holding down the gas with your right foot.
      If you live through this experiment please get back to us and tell us all how well your brakes stopped your car.
      And remember not to pump the brakes so you don't lose power brakes.
      Good luck dumb ass.

      I agree they can fix this but I'm hearing from people that this issue continues to this day.
      Seems to me they are not interested in fixing it.
      I have a 2001 model Toyota with no electronic gas pedal, I guess I will be keeping it until this issue is resolved once and for all.
      Go to car complaints .com to see if the problem is still there with your model.
