Another Unsolicited Opinion

I can't speak to whether Porsche is responsible for supplying a dangerous car. The Federal regulations that govern vehicles in the USA are pretty onerous on the manufacturers. Which is why we can't buy a Tata here.

What I think I can be fairly sure of is that Rodas and Walker didn't want a 'nanny controlled' car. They knowingly bought and built-up the car they wanted. My hunch is Walker knew what Rodas' driving habits were like and got in the car willingly.

Over 32,000 people were killed in traffic accidents in 2014. (per NHTSA) Families sue auto makers all the time, it's what lawyers do and the American way. (Firestone tires on Explorers)

If I can make a problem somebody else's fault, then I don't have to change my behavior or take responsibility.
