dshimerQUESTION: Seeing Ubuntu in cars and devices is really exciting, but it got me wondering... When an Ubuntu powered car crashes (or the fridge burns a house down) and the owner starts suing everyone in sight will there be anything separating Cannonical from the manufacturer who integrated the system?  We know it will happen, is this something that Cannonical is planning for and could withstand?16:09
