If you owned the vehicle outright, would the manufacturer be liable for an accident you had?

He didn’t sue Bird, he sued the city for not maintaining the sidewalks. Whether or not that case has any merit is debatable, but the mechanism under which the city held Bird liable and then in-turn Bird held him liable is utterly insane.

Under similar circumstances? Probably, yes. They're the ones who ostensibly indemnified the city, something they had no obligation to do.
