I wouldn't bet too much on this if there is a lobby and some 
government will probably let this slip under the carpet to make 
their dominance acceptable in some areas.

Do you remember Ford Pinto's incident?

"The Ford Pinto incident refers to a notorious 1970s automotive 
controversy where the subcompact car's poorly designed fuel tank 
easily ruptured in low-speed rear-end collisions, causing deadly 
fires. Internal documents revealed that Ford Motor Company 
knowingly released the vehicle and delayed repairs because their 
calculations showed paying lawsuit settlements was cheaper than a 
$11 per-car recall."
