01FOCI Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 http://www.katu.com/news/national/116944283.html " A federal judge overseeing lawsuits against Toyota Motor Corp. for sudden acceleration problems indicated Friday that he will allow the automaker to monitor plaintiffs' access to its proprietary source code, and he proposed a number of other ways to prevent leaks of what Toyota says is the "crown jewel" of its intellectual property. Toyota: Source code is automaker's 'crown jewel'" What a joke! Code that did not originally have a brake/throttle override is the crown jewel of unintellectual property!! I think some serious grandstanding is going on! ALSO it appears the government did not really have FULL access to toyo's code like the plaintiffs are asking for. Looks like another botched government "investigation". I blame Bush! lol j/k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timmm55 Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 Still, plaintiffs want to study the computer code and want more access than was given to federal investigators. Attorneys for the plaintiffs said in court papers filed Tuesday that the federal probe only had access to 280,000 lines of code related to the Toyota Camry. On Friday, the automaker said it would give plaintiffs' attorneys the same level of access to the source code that was given to investigators with NASA and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration for their probe into sudden acceleration. How many lines of code are there? What's to prevent Toyota from hiding the very code that is causing the unintended acceleration? There's something very Nixonian about this.
