Stop me if I'm crazy, but isn't the fact that both Ford and GM are rushing
to adopt stability control an admission that the vehicles are inherently

get you out of trouble is like hiring someone to catch your horses when
they go out of the corral instead of installing a gate. Why don't they
just make trucks that don't roll over so easy?

Hitch, _any_ vehicle is 'inherently unsafe under certain conditions.'
Even an M1 Abrams. That's a fact of life.

If you can reduce the conditions under which your vehicles handle badly
it's to your advantage commercially.

This is doubly true when you're dealing with people who either don't
bother to learn the facts of life or somehow think their immune.

So, no, I don't see it as admission of anything.
