Please tell me you are joking or at the very least you are a paid spokesperson for Volvo. This is a goal that the hammer division of Stanley Tools will never be able to accomplish; and they make a product that does not contain any logic circuits, its just mass at the end of a stick.
ADDENDUM: Nuance Elimination
In addition to the problem of "user error" I do not think that Volvo is going to be the first company that creates a 100% error free product design, operates a production line that never suffers from quality control issues and masters supply chain management to such an extent they never utilize faulty/defective components from third parties. Finally there is also the "Eve and Mallory" problem. Do we really need to have a discussion on HN about the likelihood of unhackable firmware/software?
Never seriously injuring or killing requires absolute perfection in every aspect of design and implementation. In my opinion merely entertaining the possibility of that level of perfection requires a terrifying amount of hubris.

- ethagknight 11y agoAre you saying that since a car is more complex than a hammer, and not even Stanley can control what the end user does with the hammer, therefore cars will always kill? Wouldn't the fact that Volvo's products actually have logic help them reach their goal vs. a hammer?
