Perhaps the software can be acquitted on grounds of insanity.

On a different subject, I wonder how feasible it is to install exterior "airbags" on emergency response vehicles? It seems these are hit fairly frequently, and if they had some sort of detector that senses an impending impact, could inflate a massive airbag designed to dissipate the energy from the crash. Would have to be a heck of a strong material, but should help significantly.
