>> reporter: that seems to be the hypothesis going into the ten month study though a preliminary part of the study by the transportation department released in august did not find any electronic flaws in the toyotas that have been accelerating, seemingly on their own and the results come out later this afternoon and transportation officials looking into unintended acceleration, 3,000 reports of runaway toyota over the past decade reports of 93 deaths, but the department of transportation only confirming five of them, and they want to know why the pedals seem to be sticking or getting trapped i...

Adam, what can nasa do about this? >> some people might say this is not rocket science but perhaps it might be rocket science. nasa actually has the expertise to look at all kinds of electronic components in the acceleration system, and that's what nasa is going to do, but it's not just nasa, martha. they're also enlisting the national academy of sciences and both of these studies are going to be separate but they're going to be the same kind of study focusing on whether solar flares or other possible electromagnetic interference is one of the causes or the potential cause of this sudden accel...
