If I can die because a driver has a big red "kill" button in their car, I'm not going to blame them for pressing it. I'm going to blame the manufacturer and regulators. That button is just too damn dangerous for humans.
Similarly, there's a reason we don't put a "nuke" button on the president's desk directly guarding missiles and then blame him for pressing it at the wrong time. Some things are just too damn dangerous to put in a single human's control, let alone so easily.
- tgsovlerkhgsel 5y agoI'd totally blame both the driver and the manufacturer and regulators.
- dataflow 5y agoSure, I'd also blame the driver if they pressed it intentionally. I can imagine it happening by accident. I know I've even accidentally hit the gear shift on a car as a passenger.
