        I'm not opposed to making operating systems and applications safer. As I said, just as with cars, the manufacturers should be held liable by the consumers. However, the consumer that is operating the car that plows a group of pedestrians is liable to the pedestrians. The manufacturer is usually liable to the operator through subrogation.
That's why at least in the US by *regulation* you must have insurance to be able to operate a car, instead of mitigating the safety issues that represents a teenager texting while driving we deal with the consequences. Perhaps we have to call the insurance industry to come up with something. Cheers Jorge
