- hga 11y agoBut didn't engineer Ray DeGiorgio completely betray them and everyone else by approving a switch that he, and only he, knew didn't meet specs? While GM no doubt bears more fault in this, there's no system of this sort that I know that doesn't have major trouble when an engineer is dishonest.
- jsprogrammer 11y agoGM's process is fundamentally flawed if a single engineer can approve his own part and get it into production without anyone reviewing it or even noticing.
- Zigurd 11y agoIt's not the switch, it's the coverup. The press accounts I read make it seem as if the undocumented change to the switch was intentionally undocumented, to conceal the fact that many switches out on the road should be recalled and changed. If that's true, the crime isn't making a bad switch, it's the crime of attempting to shield GM from the financial consequences of making a bad switch, resulting in preventable death and injury.
