How catastrophic must a software disaster be to receive the benefits of such safety regulation?
- bdamm 8y agoThere are software glitches responsible for the deaths of on the order of 100 people, which has resulted in industry-localized development and deployment standards. When we see tragedies where 1000 people die because of a software glitch, or more likely, a systems or security failure, then I think we'll see legislators start coming for the software industry in general. There are already critical systems development and systems requirements; likely legislators will expand and formalize those kinds of programs. All we need to do is have a public tragedy that can be pinned on "software".
