Or they're running on scavenged military spares that were shielded somehow
(faraday cage maybe).

That raises another question.   I was reading something that described the
process of an EMP hitting electronics as 'jostling the electrons', thereby
implying that, under the right circumstances, the effects of an EMP would be
lessened, or temporary or whatever.

Then again, it is possible that in 2070 the state of the art in electronics
could have reached a point where they were almost immune to the effect of an
EMP...
