incident falls within the context of the established principles of negligence. Accordingly, General Motors could potentially be held liable in a product liability suit for negligence. However the following outcomes could result once facts and incriminatory evidence are revealed and analyzed:1. If the facts bare out that General Motors was completely responsible for the commission or omission of the defective sensor module, which resulted in the injuries sustained by the plaintiff than General Motors would be held liable and negligent in a court of law.2. If the facts bare out in a court of law that General Motors met all the specification standards (design specifications, assembly line equipment, installation in accordance with physical parameters of the driver, etc.) as mandated by the manufacturer of the sensor module and that in fact the defective sensor “was introduced by some agency other than (General Motors) own” or rather that “this deleterious article did not obtain entrance through his act of negligence but that of some other” (such as the manufacturer of the sensor module), than the said manufacturer of the sensor module could be held entirely liable and considered wholly negligent in a court of law. (Adamson, 35) General Motors could also argue intermediate inspection as a defense, however, the facts revealed in the article do not lend to this as a possible avenue of defense.3. If the facts bear out that both General Motors and the manufacturer of the sensor had knowledge (commission) or ought to have had knowledge (omission) that there was a problem with the sensor to which they had a responsibility, than both parties could be held liable. In this circumstance, the modern view of shared responsibility would apply, as both parties are accountable for the faulty sensor module. Subsequently, each party would have had some responsibility for preventing and/or remedying the product defect and they ...
