You really think the engineers working on this will be personally liable for this? That would honestly surprise me, the worst i can imagine is punishment for the company as an entity.

Yes, we do. Just look at how the engineers get thrown under the bus in a high profile case like the VW car-emissions scandal.

Example: engineers blamed is the title in [1].

Saying stuff like that in a hearing to deflect blame doesn’t surprise me, but were any individual engineers punished for this?
