They'll be paying out at least a settlement here. Looking at photos from the crash there are zero bollards protecting the building and even the curb to the sidewalk is flush with the driving surface.

I'm not sure who is about to have their civil engineering license revoked, but holy shit this is a big miss in following industry standards.

I work for a large retailer and while we already had barricades at the entrances we are now even beefing those up with more robust solutions. I've found others that work in my industry are doing the same improvements for many other retailers as well.

I can see Apple being on the hook here if they didn't add any type of bollards or other protection measures due to aesthetics (which fanboy or hater Apple is known to prioritize appearance over function sometimes). There is a reasonable expectation to design in highly trafficked areas in a manner that protects pedestrian/patrons from automobile intrusion into the building or walking paths.
