It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:
Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.
Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.
Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

My understanding from the lawsuit is that OneWheel's issue was a software bug, and my understanding of how they handled the issues is that it wasn't very well done.
I don't think it was a bug. It's just that people overpower the wheels and then crash.
Futuremotion added "haptic buzz" to help warn people when they're near overpowering the wheel.
I've met lots of people who just don't understand that the wheel keeps you balanced by driving faster than you're leaning. If you overlean it you crash.
Most of what I know about the recalls that were done was from a Louis Rossmann video on it, and my impression so many months later was that it was a specific design issue either software or hardware that was only an issue with OneWheels.
I don't know which specific video I saw, and am assuming this one contains his understanding of events better than I can express it myself: https://youtu.be/Q_Mk-5XkSmY
Yeah, he nails it. I listened to the whole thing.
Basically exactly what I said, except for "ghosting" which is a problem where the board will ride without a user on it. Ghosting boards can be a hazard, but not to the rider
I'm probably misremembering then. I'll rewatch to get back up to speed.
