CBS Evening news today: Confirming Toyota Electrical Issue Causing Problem

Did anyone else see the report? A university scientist was able to replicate a short in the throttle control that creates a surge. No fail safe or check engine light kicked on, and the car accelerates out of control until turned off or in neutral.

I can't find a link or any article. I guess they're sawing off pedals for nothing.

*edit: Here we go. Found something.
