Where's the strict product liability here? Like, if Kia is making a car that's easy to steal and it gets stolen, why isn't that Kia's fault and they're responsible for the damages? We're talking gross negligence here.
There have been demonstrations of hacking cars remotely to gain control of it. You could quite literally kill someone this way. This should 100% be the responsibility of the car maker.
Why do we let these companies get away with poor security? It's well beyond time we hold them financially and legally responsible for foreseeable outcomes from poor security practices.
That doesn't mean any vulnerability incurs liability necessarily. A 0day might not meet the bar for gross negligence. But what if you were told about the vulnerability and refused to upate the software for 2 years because a recall like that costs money? Or what if you released software using versions with known vulnerabilities because you don't want to pay for upgrading all the dependencies?
