If that argument holds, the court will decide. But as with every contract, they can be ligitated if one side feels wronged.

A car is a tool to move people and stuff from A to B, and without fuel, it ceases to fulfill its promise, on which it was sold.
Maybe some reversible nuclear process, if that is even feasible.
If we don't manage to use electricity to merge neutron stars, it's probably not feasible. Until then it's like making gold from lead by nuclear processes: doable, but the price per atom is not market compatible.
Thank you for balancing the parentheses. Cosmic order has been restored.
The first time a drone crashes; national news.
You mean like this one?
Or this one?
There have already been a few delivery drone crashes. Some have caused real damage. But no, the lawyers didn't have a field day. Damages were paid out by Amazon and the world went on without it being widespread national news.
half the city is up in arms about autonomous driving even though Waymo is already safer than human drivers and Cruise likely no worse.
The metrics showing autonomous cars are safer don't include things like blocking emergency vehicles by stopping in the middle of the road, accidents caused by the traffic jam the stopped autonomous car caused and so forth.
The default behavior is to stop in the middle of the street when the autonomous driving fails and wait for a remote operator to take over the vehicle and move it out of the way, but the remote operator depends on cell phone signals to send data back and forth. A traffic jam (or a music festival) concentrates a lot of other people in the area and the cell towers quickly become overwhelmed and boom... more stopped autonomous cars.
It's not fear of the new and unfamiliar. It's the documented problems that have been caused already with a very limited number of vehicles on the road. It's not hard to predict the disaster that would happen if they actually made up a significant percentage of the traffic.
Every change looks like corruption in the eyes of people who don't like it.
And corruption looks like evolution to some people.
Personally, I'm in favor of words meaning as much of the same thing over time as possible. It enhances communication and understanding. If you need a new meaning, you either need a new word or you need to explain yourself at a bit more length. Lest you "decimate" (cough) the listener's/reader's understanding... you get me?
The answer is that this is somewhat misleading; there are plenty of Z80 compatible chips still being manufactured. The TI-84 uses the eZ80, which is four times faster and will still be around. There are also many (many) clones that are closer to cycle-exact.
Probably because the hands and fingers are fucked up in the exact same way that AI always fucks up hands and fingers.
A human told to edit an image to "protect the anonymity of the source" wouldn't start off thinking "I know... I'll remove one finger from the right hand and three from the left, then fuck up the palms to make it look like the fingers became blobby tumors."
