Effectively this is the total point of the transcript - that the system was fatally flawed in software design. Any number of bad things could have happened to cause catastrophic faults. Unintended accleration was demonstrated to be a result that could happen on a fault occurance.

Where was that demonstrated? It was hypothesized that it may be a result, but I'm not seeing anything other than speculation.

Again, in the linked slides....

The article itself was basic and didn't really talk to the specific Toyota case, but the linked slides did... if you're going to speculate about the trial, look at Barr's slides, not that article..

It was done in a lab by Barr & his assistants. See the court transcript.
