It's (almost) the same thing for traditional engineering. Nobody reviews that fuel pump for reliability and functionality, they trust the manufacturer's specs and certifications, and if the pump turns out not to meet those specs they sue for a recall & fix/replacement. The difference is software licenses all disclaim liability, so we can't even get critical issues fixed.
- titoCA321 4y agoEven in traditional engineering how can you guarantee ever eventuality that another creative mind comes up with after you designed and built the thing. I design and build an air duct to facilitate air circulation into my buildings. If someone decides fly a drone into my air duct vents and breach the building when everyone leaves for the day then who's liable? Should I have know that years later someone would use the air vents to breach the building?
