>There's no reason that hardware should be designed to do unreasonable things just because that's "obeying its operator". You're not talking about designing a piece of hardware to do unreasonable things. You're talking about designing a piece of hardware to be unable to do arbitrary things. Why do I say arbitrary? Because the designer is not omniscient. They cannot conceive of all the possible future situations in which their product will be used. Are you really unable to imagine situations where it might be necessary to drive on the road regardless of the conditions outside? That aside, this has nothing to do with libertarianism or "doing whatever you want". I'm not saying if you decide to drive on the road in such conditions you should not be liable if you cause an accident. I'm saying, simply, "people should be able to use their property however they like". That doesn't seem like such a controversial idea to me. Or are you saying you shouldn't be able to do that? You don't trust yourself to use your property responsibly?
