1. Years ago, Toyota disclosed a number of defects in its vehicles leading the company to issues recalls. The defects caused accidents and injuries. See article below and feel free to research the matter more.
Prior to watching the movie, did you believe that Toyota (or other car manufacturers) could not have known or did not know of the recent defects in its vehicles before they were sold to customers. In light of the events from the movie, has your viewed changed or been reinforced?
How would the memo for the auto manufacturer in the movie read, i.e. which would be greater the costs or benefits (risk allocation)?
