GM CEO Barra's testimony in the U.S. Congress on the failed ignition switch leading to recalls of GM cars
04/02/2014
Members of the U.S. Congress question Barra about a 2005 memo showing GM failed to correct the defect in the switch because it would cost 90 cents per car and the warranty-cost savings were only 10-15 cents per car. This is similiar to the thinking at BP and Toyota leading to hugely costly recalls and a dent in reputation.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
