The idea that a EULA will protect manufacturers from lawsuits over injury and death due to their error is complete hand wavy fantasy. No such precedent exists.

You need only look up the average cost of a major hospitalization to gauge what the at-fault party is responsible for. They can run into the millions.[1] That's before we even get to tort damages awarded by a court for things like negligence (and you're certainly right that those can be even higher).

- maxerickson 10y agoBy licensing I meant the state granting a license for the system to operate on public roads. It won't be individuals signing away their rights, it will be the state declaring what rights they have. Also, I'm sure there are large claims. My contention is that there aren't a lot of them.
