Prius needs three-fingered salute

Opinion

May 17, 20051 min

Looks like the popular Toyota Prius hybrid car needs three additional buttons on the dash: Ctrl, ALT, and Del. Roughly 30 of the high-tech cars have been found to have a software glitch that causes the vehicle to stall when traveling at highway speeds. Toyota recognized the problem and says affected owners need to bring their cars to the dealer for a software patch, which takes about an hour to download. Bad enough to you have to worry about patches for your computer, now you have to worry about them for you car too.
