Have you seen the report on the Toyota source code? http://www.safetyresearch.net/Library/BarrSlides_FINAL_SCRUB... https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9449559 "In a nutshell, the team led by Barr Group found: “a systematic software malfunction in the Main CPU that opens the throttle without operator action and continues to properly control fuel injection and ignition” that is not reliably detected by any fail-safe." And the black box could fail to record any braking input in such cases. That's not good! People died! And you would have a hard time convincing a jury that the driver was not at fault, if not for the thorough independent code review. And that's the safety critical stuff, now imagine all the code for the infotainment systems. |
