Fine, but if I kill someone with a car I would expect consequences. If their car kills somebody, they are held responsible. They pay, and if they are at fault, it is a criminal matter.
I suspect this ceo isn't saying 'the public is ready for our cars to kill someone, and we don't suffer any consequences, because they seem to be cool with some of them being killed so that we can profit.'
Mind you, look at how many people Musk's cars are killing (including quite a few burned alive) and he suffers no consequences so fuck it. Just keep your capitalist, corporatist, and car culture over there, thanks.
I agree, the consequences should be severe.
With that said, airlines kill people and all it chiefly results in is a fine to act as a disbursement to the families.
