Programming is treated a bit different from a tire specs
I get the feeling a lot of programmers are going to be put on witness stands pretty early in the roll out. Lawyers already like to interview Sys Admins.

Classically, an IR sensor should tell the car the difference between zombies and humans. Herd avoidance is probably a better tactic because of resource depletion.
Hey, that is what ford said about the Bronco II.
Anyway, I agree with you in principle that if presented with the clear evidence in court it would be as you say. My contention is it would take many years and a whistle-blower before anything like that would ever come to light. And there is much greater likelihood of deaths occurring accidentally due to the code, than by design.
