Auto Safety headed the top of the Driving News Headlines this week.

Jalopnik reported that Many Cars on US Roads Do Not Meet NHTSA Safety Standard for Rollover Crashes. This news came on the heels of a nuclear verdict against Ford: Ford will appeal $1.7 billion verdict in Georgia truck roof-strength lawsuit.

Every day, NMA’s Driving News feed includes many auto recall headlines each week. Here is the latest crop from just Tuesday:

Most of these recalls refer to the basics. If automakers cannot get the basics right though, how can we consumers expect them to protect us with vehicles that are automated?

Ford also announced this week that it plans to slash over 3,000 jobs as it pivots to electric vehicles.
