[DeTomaso] NPC: Complex Car Software Becomes the Weak Spot Under the Hood - The New York Times

[Konrad Szwab]

>From my past experience of 35+ years in the computer field, before bad code
could be a nuisance and in important industries (aeronautical, nuclear) it
was closely reviewed. Now it can easily get us killed once it controls
acceleration and brakes and is much less reviewed as in the car industry.

   From my past experience of 35+ years in the computer field, before bad
   code could be a nuisance and in important industries (aeronautical,
   nuclear) it was closely reviewed. Now it can easily get us killed once
   it controls acceleration and brakes and is much less reviewed as in the
   car industry.
