By introducing a car that is cheaper than the average vehicle cost, Tata Nano had to be limited. Tata did not include airbags, ABS, seatbelts, and air conditioner.

With GM aware of the problem it still was never fixed, and the employees that were engaged in fixing the issue were not taking responsibility for it (Kuppler, 2014).

Throughout life everyone is faced with challenging obstacles that they have to overcome, sadly I learned this for myself sooner than most. In October of 2012 I became a licensed driver in the state of Virginia.
