+1. I am always surprised that they used to do (and of course still must do) proper full-on formal verification of e.g. train track scheduling systems, so train accidents, and consequently 100s of deaths don't just happen because "sorry for the bug, ver 1.2 fixes it" -- but people are happy to sit into a Tesla going at 120km/h and allow a well-tested, but not formally verified deep learning system to make decisions. BTW, I know it's not formally verified, because formally verifying deep learning systems is a currently very much unsolved problem for anything but toy examples.
