are you arguing the difference in the ease with which digital information can be altered compared to physical reality is a negligible difference?

I'm pointing out that shipping imperfect software has not yet been determined to be negligence.

I pretty much expect that automakers will quickly start shipping systems with effective segregation (the cost pretty clearly doesn't outweigh the PR downside), so the interesting question really is whether the cars on the road today represent negligence or not.
