The model year 2005 Camry in question from the trial would have been made available in 2004, and the electronic throttle control system was designed prior to 2004 (IIRC, the ETC design was carried forward from the previous model).  How does it makes sense to apply MISRA-C:2004 in this case, especially when the Toyota ETC in question was admittedly not designed under MISRA-C:2004 nor prior MISRA-C revisions?<p>It is inaccurate to claim Michael Barr determined the cause of Toyota&#x27;s unintended acceleration: he proposed a possible failure mode that was persuasive to a lay jury.  His proposed failure mode didn&#x27;t leave a DTC, so there&#x27;s no way to actually know if his proposed failure mode actually happened in this case (or in any other).
