Imagine there is an 'autopilot' gun, you buy it, and it comes with the contract that says you take full responsibility got the gun.
Then it shoots me and kills me before you have a chance to react.
The prosecutor will go after the manufacturer. If manufacturer wrote code that kills me, you and any contract you signed is not even relevant.
You cannot contract away criminal responsibility. Otherwise I could contract away all my responsebilities to a random homeless guy.
