Packaged software that is sold, to me, is different to code that you put up on GitHub for safe keeping. But I still think we've gone in the wrong direction. And to your example regarding cars, such a guarantee could be "this car is safe to drive on [roads]". Replace "roads" with the legal name for surfaces where cars can be driven. The underlying problem though is that there are such a large number of people that refuse to take responsibility for their own actions. "But, your honour, the guarantee said I could drive on roads. It didn't mention anything about being blind folded while doing so. It wasn't my fault I'm now paralysed". A pretty ridiculous example; and probably a naive one as well. But the law systems we live with are way too complicated. And I feel the people, whose job is to "interpret" the law (judges) are doing a terrible job upholding the spirit of law.
