Steve Wozniak Reports That Prius Issue Is a Big Hoax
During Wolf Blitzer’s interview of Steve Wozniak, co-founder of Apple Computers, Steve admitted that the allegations he made about his Prius and unintended acceleration were a hoax. In his interview he stated that he bet a friend that he could use his Prius allegations to get on Wolf Blitzer’s show – which he was able to accomplish.
Furthermore, Wozniak also stated that other media outlets had spliced together footage of his interview to make it sound like his vehicle was experiencing “unintended acceleration”. The truth is much simpler – his vehicle has Dynamic Laser Cruise Control – a feature that will “lock on” to the speed of the vehicle in front of you and maintain a certain distance. The intricacies of this system, paired with someone who may not understand how it works fully, may seem like “unintended acceleration” is happening. However, the fact is that the system is working as designed. You can see the full video at Wolf Blitzer’s Situation Room at CNN.com
