Toyota Promises Changes Following Congressional Hearings.

Toyota CEO Akio Toyoda publicly apologized before Congress today for safety lapses that contributed to 39 deaths and lead to a massive recall. Here are some of the changes, the automaker promises over the next year:

  • Giant, fire-breathing dragons will no longer build new cars.
  • Will cease providing gloveboxes filled with used schoolgirl panties as a new car option.
  • Airbags will no longer be imprinted with Hello Kitty.
  • GPS voice directions will no longer be read by a coy, Japanese schoolgirl who giggles coquettishly at every intersection.
  • Will cease giving chako stick keychains to new car buyers.
  • New cars will no longer transform into giant, crime fighting machines.
  • High-end vehicles will come pre-installed with front and rear cameras to take pictures of everything they see.
  • Will provide an optional steering wheel microphone for in-car karaoke.

I want to use my damned WII controller to steer, is that too much to ask?

And every once in a while, it could switch over to driver 2.
