because individuals can't be held accountable

That's just laziness. There are individuals who can be held accountable.

Starting with the executives who signed off on these things being put on the road in the first place.

Forgive me, that wasn't the complete thought I assumed it was.

What I mean is that Liability in business is often spread across the company as an entity because there are usually a lot of people involved in the decision tree that leads to things like this.

You'd be holding more than one person liable if you were holding people liable at all. And generally if one person can be pointed to as at fault they are "the fall guy", taking the brunt of whatever consequences so that the company doesn't have to. Rarely do you get both options.

I didn't mean to imply that the people who are involved couldn't be held accountable.

Sounds good to me.

Having some corporate abstraction shield the people who make irresponsible or dangerous choices may be beneficial to thoae decision makers, but it is very much not good for society.
