I can't see where Cem is indicating that the author of the software should be the one who is responsible. It is the vendor of the hardware (car, in the given example) who is being held responsible.

Actually, I wasn't suggesting that Cem was indicating the author of the software should be held responsible -- I'm just saying that I can see a lawyer going after the original author of software as well as the manufacturer, given the nature of lawsuits these days.

Fair enough. However, in this sucky litigious society that we live in, it wouldn't surprise me to see a lawyer go after a Free Software developer today. Sigh. I can be such a pesimist.

Regardless, good article.
