I think both can be true. They absolutely should be regulated into the ground, but the massive shortcomings of these shitty cars have been well documented for years. I'd equally judge someone that bought a pinto after the widespread reports that the car would explode when rear ended.
If you ignore glaring safety issues with your vehicle and continue using the faulty systems, I'm not going to pity you when it bites you in the ass. I do feel bad for the kid though, they deserved better than their parent trusting their safety with half assed automation.
