Thanks! Funny enough, the topic touches engineering, business, actuarial science and peoples life or death situation. All ending in courts inconconclusively. A huge part of human endeavors put together and nothing came out of them. Very representative of our species.
I understand you to mean that there was not a dramatic result; I believe there were results - engineers and managers changed their goals to include more testing of components, IIHS and regulators also added testing. Automakers do respond to forced recalls. Reputational harm taken as seriously as direct fines and punishment.
