    Read what they said. That they’re doing the recall even though it’s only 1 per 10m. Implying they think that is an acceptable rate for serious injuries.

      Ford thought 180 dead per year was acceptable when it shipped the Pinto. GM looks like a saint by comparison, fuck.

      I think they mean they’re not legally required to recall them. I guess the government have a limit on what they think is acceptable and that’s below the limit probably because it’s less than what human drivers achieve so it’s an improvement in safety.
