most cars built today have drive by wire with hall effect sensors.  No one else 
is reporting problems on Toyota's scale.  Then again, everyone else 
uses  "brake wins " software.

You already have a kill switch installed on your Toyota, from the factory.  It's 
located on the steering column, on the right side, below the steering wheel.  
It's multiposition, Accessory, Engine On, Engine Off, Starter  ;-)

I'm having trouble finding numbers, but what percentage of these incidents 
have occured in the US vs. the ROW?

As for manufacturers assuming responsibility, my Dodge truck came with an 
engine that Dodge knows is designed in such a way that the oil absorbs 
moisture, creating sludge that eventually causes the engine to sieze.  New 
engine, $6K.  BTW, their comprehensive warranty denies claims from owner 
abuse, specifically listing "oil sludge" in the abuse symptoms.  (Thought I was 
a victim this week, turned out to be bad gas.)
