In another closely watched hearing, the head of the auto giant Toyota, Akio Toyoda, appeared before a House Oversight Committee panel and apologized for the safety fiasco that’s led to the recall of millions of vehicles.
Akio Toyoda: “We pursued growth over the speed at which we were able to develop our people and our organization, and we should sincerely be mindful of that. I regret that this has resulted in the safety issue described in the recalls we face today, and I am deeply sorry for any accident that Toyota drivers have experienced.”
