You are a new engineer working for a motorcycle manufacturer that produces a bike with a known control system instability. This instability can cause the rider to lose control at high speed and crash. Your supervisor says that you should ignore it because everyone knows about it and it would be too expensive to fix. Besides, a new control algorithm would cause more harm, since the drivers expect the bikes to behave in a certain way. What do you do?

a. Attempt to convince your supervisor that it will be cheaper to fix the flaw than pay the subsequent law suits.

b. Suggest that a warning label be put on the bikes about riding at high speeds.

c. Talk to your corporation’s legal office about your professional obligations.

d. Blow the whistle and talk to a newspaper reporter.
