    BMW should be liable for its drivers not using their turn signals.

      The relationship is different though, BMW is not a service provider.

      A better analogy would be the phone company. Is it their job to monitor their customers conversation and determine the legality of what is being said?

        I am sure BMW’s TOS has a sentence in there somewhere that they are your daddy once you sign up and this is binding forever. Looks like that means they are a service provider for life.

        Also… isn’t a subscription for heated seats means they provide a live service that we need to pay regularly to maintain?

      I could see the Supreme Court rejecting this based on that idea… If you blame the manufacturer, that’s going to open up all manner of gun lawsuits, ammunition lawsuits, etc.
