It’s not the burden of society to prove the dangers of the technology we purchase on behalf of the businesses that sell it.
We recall consumer products for danger well below the numbers reported in the article above. A vehicle on the road should be held to an even higher standard.

- pertsix 3y agoIt can be both.

If someone is claiming that there is a safety issue despite the existing data, then yes, the burden of proof moves to them to validate their new claim.
- prepend 3y agoDo we? I don’t think so. We recall vehicles based on an investigation and quantification of the risk. The numbers here aren’t very high and they don’t reflect any serious risk of harm. Recall math is interesting to me, but it’s not just a function of customer complaints.
