That businesses should not be putting a value on human life and disregard a known deadly danger. Ford thought they could get away with a dangerous automobile by paying off those lawsuits from people who were injured and the families of the dead. Ford thought it was more ';cost effective'; not to fix the dangerous condition than to spend the money to save people.
Lesson learned is that they shouldn't be ignoring an obviously dangerous condition and shouldn't be putting a value on human life.

Government Involvement is necessary at times. If the people had been involved this would have been disclosed to the public and Ford would have never been able to get away with it.
