GM, which faces at least 16 trials on death and injury claims in state and federal courts in the U.S. in 2016, has said in regulatory filings that it couldnt estimate its potential liability.
The U.S. Justice Department sued Volkswagen and laid out claims that could push penalties into the billions of dollars an opening salvo in a legal battle that could be far more costly for the German carmaker than had been expected.
Driverless cars are touted as leading to an accident-free future. But before we get to that utopia, there'll be plenty of collisions between robot cars and vehicles driven by humans.
The bulk of the money from BPs record settlement will go to the five states along the Gulf of Mexico whose shores were blackened in the 2010 oil spill.
The settlements were the latest in a series of resolutions since the 2010 sinking of the Deepwater Horizon in the Gulf of Mexico, spilling millions of gallons of oil.
Nissan Motor Co. plans to expand a regional U.S. recall of cars with potentially defective Takata Corp. air bags after a woman said she was injured last month by shrapnel from the device in her 2006 Sentra sedan.
