The car possessed many innovative features, including the ability to drive and maneuver itself through traffic with minimal assistance from the driver. One day, the environmentalist entered an address into the car's computer system and followed all protocol regarding the amount of assistance she needed to give the car in order to reach her destination. However, as the car was driving her to the destination, the computer system malfunctioned. The car swerved violently into oncoming traffic, causing a car accident in which the environmentalist sustained a broken arm. The environmentalist subsequently filed a strict products liability action against the car manufacturer under a design-defect theory of recovery. At trial, the environmentalist introduced evidence that a reasonable alternative design for the computer system was available to the car manufacturer and that failure to use that design rendered the car not reasonably safe. In its defense, the car manufacturer introduced evidence that the car's computer system complied with all governmental safety standards for electric cars. In addition, the car manufacturer demonstrated that the car's computer system was "state of the art" by introducing as evidence the level of relevant technological knowledge existing and reasonably feasible at the time the car was distributed. Will the environmentalist likely prevail? O A. No, because the car's computer system complied with all governmental safety standards for electric cars. O B. No, because the car's computer system was "state of the art" based upon the technological knowledge existing and reasonably feasible at the time the car was released. O C. Yes, because the car manufacturer negligently designed the car's computer system since there was a reasonable alternative design available to it. OD. Yes, because the car's computer system was defective and the environmentalist was injured as a result of the computer system's malfunction. Submit
