The law already covers vehicle manufacturers to account. Indeed several of them have been pursued for damage, injuries and death caused by defects in their products. The oil industry is, in theory, accountable as far as the actions of their business are concerned. I don't see that it would be reasonable to hold either accountable for the actions of the users of their products. After all, if a cyclist caused a death, would you want to pursue the manufacturer of the bicycle that they were riding and suppliers of their food on the same matter. After market they can hardly be considered in reasonable control of their products.
