    But they recalling the vehicles so clearly not.

    Unless you’re suggesting that the software update is too make the cars more efficient at killing pedestrians?

      Read what they said. That they’re doing the recall even though it’s only 1 per 10m. Implying they think that is an acceptable rate for serious injuries.

        Ford thought 180 dead per year was acceptable when it shipped the Pinto. GM looks like a saint by comparison, fuck.

        I think they mean they’re not legally required to recall them. I guess the government have a limit on what they think is acceptable and that’s below the limit probably because it’s less than what human drivers achieve so it’s an improvement in safety.
