Don't forget Toyota and the saga of the mysterious acceleration.

IIRC, Toyota was eventually successfully sued because they did not follow industry best practices in developing the sw for the ECU. Any idea if Tesla's software is following, say, ISO26262?

Yes, that was a big issue too. Covered by every newspaper and media organization in the West, multiple investigations by safety agencies and private parties, and their stock was downgraded by analysts during this "saga."

With respect to the console? Unknown. With respect to Autopilot? It's clear that they're not, since they're are too many issues and regressions that would have been caught if they were following those standards.
