They knew it was an issue. Did they know it was going to kill someone? I'm not sure.
I guess a lot of people here are software engineers...
If you have a button in your phone app that's a bit slow to make something happen, you might put off a fix for it in order to ship early.
What if someone's using their phone (maybe illegally) while driving, they're distracted by the 'faulty' button and then they hit and kill a cyclist.
Would you then responsible for that cyclists's death?
I'm just trying to think 'what if I were an automotive engineer?'. Thinking of all the things in a car you could blame for not being absolutely perfect, it seems like an impossible job.
