Thicker glass, huh? Shoulda, coulda, woulda. There are a million ways to add $10 to the cost of a vehicle, each yielding a marginal benefit. In the end, you have a $50K Explorer that weighs 6000 pounds. I don't want a bunch of dumb hicks on a jury making decisions about the way my car is designed, how much it costs, how hot my coffee can be, how much my ski lift tickets ultimately cost, etc.

Time to change our system.
The plaintiffs are right, I wish ford would have invested more money into stronger glass and decided to save money by not installing seatbelts. That way tragedies like these can be avoided
