If Kia had a gigantic button that said "PRESS THIS TO START CAR WITHOUT KEYS" they STILL wouldn't be responsible for any of this. It's absurd that we are blamin

  Of course, in America, we have determinism(you are a product of your environment) for criminals, and free will(everything you do is your responsibility) for everyone else.

    Perhaps this is cross-cultural. Cf https://twitter.com/AI_Solzhenitsyn/status/1642571513755840514 https://twitter.com/AI_Solzhenitsyn/status/16425715137558405... > Your punishment for having a knife when they searched you would be very different from the thief’s. For him to have a knife was mere misbehavior, tradition, he didn’t know any better. But for you to have one was ‘terrorism.’

  When the cars you sell are stolen so much more than other similar cars that they have caused a large rise in the theft rate and insurance companies stop issuing policies that cover theft of your car but still issue policies for those others, and you know that thieves are targeting your cars because you have decided to not include a simple anti-theft device that those other cars do include, then you are negligent, which means you should bear some of the responsibility for the predictable consequences of your negligence. Thieves exist. Car makers need to be aware of that and design accordingly. By 2015 every car maker selling in the US except Kia and Hyundai was putting immobilizers in almost all of their new cars. The benefits of immobilizers were well known, with car theft rates declining dramatically in jurisdictions that mandated them.
