Safety is always a systems problem. Software is never an adequate single point of failure for critical risks.
- Gibbon1 5y agoEarly 90's read a long article on safety. First point front and center is safety is a primary system design issue.

So if the firmware went off into the weeds the watchdog would fire before the air bag.
