Does a finding of absolute liability in a motor vehicle accident constitute absolute liability?

2 There is some discussion by defendants as to whether this was a finding of absolute liability (see Luthringer v. Moore, 31 Cal.2d 489, 190 P.2d 1) and outside the issues but plaintiffs do not rely on strict liability as a basis for their judgment. Hence even if it is outside the issues and is a finding on that theory and such theory is mentioned in the trial court's opinion it is unimportant for there were also findings of defendants' negligence above mentioned and basing liability thereon.
