Hey, at least you're guaranteed that the car didn't decide to get behind the wheel after a heavy night of drinking.

If one of a companies products kills someone, the CEO should be personally liable civilly and criminally.

I'd take it even farther - abolish the corporate veil. Hold the investors accountable for the things they pay their fall guy to do. They're basically hiring hit men.

If they can't afford the liability insurance, then they're planning on pushing that cost onto the public and their company should not exist.

They already killed a much loved bodega cat, to some outrage, though in reality probably acceptance that the loss of bodega cats is the necessary price of progress. Maybe they can replace the cats with AI or something?
