> You mean they shouldn't have disabled the car's own autonomous, non AI braking system and kept it as a backup for when theirs failed? I admit that was a thought, but I'd hold back from to saying that simple specific thing was the missed item, or even if that was a realistic expectation to maintain that setup. Without a built up safety culture that looks at the issue from multiple directions in detail, and has the authority to halt testing if needed, then it could have easily been something else. And there are multiple industries from civil/military aviation, medical, architecture, as well as many industrial occupations from which one could have formed a safety framework upon.
