- tigershark 10y agoIn the linked article the author says that the death of the person on the tesla with autopilot could have been avoided if the autopilot software was open source. That is simply absolutely false because you cannot ever certify the entire response mapping for a NN so complex. And even if you could then there was no need for a NN because you could write an algorithm with exactly the same response mapping.

- tigershark 10y ago> Most importantly, it ignores the fact that proprietary software in cars is at least equally, if not more, dangerous. To me it seems that he is suggesting that the proprietary software can be more dangerous than open source one. So from there you can infer that he believes that open source software can be more safe than proprietary one. If death(proprietary) >= death(OSS) then !death(OSS) <= !death(proprietary)
