I don't think it is.

Currently the manufacturers employ not one driver. Not a single one. And the insurance guys are telling me more and more that all these scum sucking ambulance chasers are starting negotiations for injury settlements at the balance sheet.

Now, Manufacturers have good lawyers, but going from 0 to unlimited downside liability is material.
