Organizations don't have a notion of morality; only people do.

The larger an organization is, and the more bureaucratized it is, the less morality of individual people in it affects it overall operation.

Consequently, yes, it is absolutely true that Ford and BMW as a whole don't care about safety of actual people, regardless of what individual people working for them think.

Separately, the nature of progression in hierarchical organizations is basically a selection for sociopathy, so the people who rise to the top of large organizations can generally be assumed to not care about other people, regardless of what they claim in public.
