The system was, by its very nature, not ready for production. That's why it had a safety driver in the first place. It's crazy to argue that the safety driver should have been alerted...the whole point they're there is to handle failures of the system, including ones where the system fails to detect an issue.
If my skydive instructor doesn't deploy the backup parachute because I, the student, didn't alert them that the primary chute failed to deploy, it's entirely their fault if we hit the ground at terminal velocity.
If a lifeguard is working at a public pool watching Netflix on their phone and a kid drowns, you can't argue that the kid should have splashed more.

- bastawhiz 6y agoI don't disagree. But that's a separate issue. The safety driver provably did not even make a good faith attempt to perform their function. It's not possible to know whether they would have been able to avoid the tragedy that occurred, but it's a certainty that in any other universe where they were watching TV on their phone they would not have improved the outcome.
