A | RIVERSIDE, Calif. -- A jury has delivered a $135 million verdict in a molestation case involving a middle school teacher, determining that negligence by a Southern California school district allowed the abuse of two students during the 1990s. Jurors in Riverside County Superior Court decided Tuesday that the Moreno Valley Unified School District is 90% responsible for the damages, while former teacher Thomas Lee West is 10% responsible, according to plaintiffs' lawyers. The ruling means the district will pay $121.5 million in damages.District officials didn't immediately respond to an email Wednesday seeking comment on the verdict. During a criminal trial, West was convicted of committing lewd or lascivious acts with minors. He is currently serving a 52 years-to-life sentence in Mule Creek State Prison.The two former students said in their civil lawsuit that they were repeatedly abused by West during 1996 and 1997 when they were sixth graders at Vista Heights Middle School east of Los Angeles. The lawsuit said district officials should have known that West posed a threat to students.As a result of the abuse, the victims have suffered “life-long mental and emotional distress,” their lawyers said in a statement. “The psychological effects of the severe and pervasive abuse have left both men shells of who they would have been but for the abuse made possible by the District,” the statement said.。 8月25日消息，据报道，日产社长伊凡・埃斯皮诺萨表示，日产过往新车研发需要55个月，2026年冬季推出的新款Skyline研发周期将压到26个月。 同时，埃斯皮诺萨还称，中国车企在技术、成本控制与研发效率上已成为行业标杆，日产将主动学习相关经验。 近些年日产经营压力凸显，2025财年全球销量同比下滑6%，本土市场跌幅达到13%，2026年上半年本土销量更是创下数十年新低。 传统模式下，日产每款车型独立开发，多部门多头管理，内部沟通消耗大量时间，漫长的研发周期让产品落地时就跟不上市场的变化了。 借鉴中国车企经验，日产打算从三方面重构开发逻辑。

B | 一是推行家族化共享平台，不再每台车从零开发，一套架构可以衍生轿车、SUV等多种车型，同时精简组织架构，由项目总监统一统筹，减少部门内耗。二是大规模落地AI与数字孪生技术，在虚拟环境完成大量碰撞、耐久测试，减少物理样车迭代次数，甚至实现夜间无人值守测试，提升测试效率。三是采用并行研发模式，设计、工程、测试、供应链同步推进，替代过去一环接一环的串行开发方式。日产计划2026财年，让这套高效流程覆盖九成新车项目。不过研发提速并非毫无前提。国内车企24个月左右的开发周期，大多建立在成熟平台基础之上，依托现有架构做衍生迭代；若是从零打造全新底层架构，依旧需要三到五年时间。这也意味着日产26个月的成果，同样依托成熟平台积累，并非完全从零开发。 研发提速的背后，行业也浮现出了新的挑战。
