Uh, that was sarcasm. Unintended acceleration failures are huge deals in the industry and absolutely already designed in with multiple (probably dozens) of layers of safety/redundancy at all levels up to and including human control. The point was that you can still imagine a N-mode failure that defeats all of that and use it to justifify whatever whizgig you're demanding in your local internet discussion. And that this was ridiculous, because that's not how you do engineering.
And... you did.
- kragen 2y agoYes, you can always imagine failures that disable your failsafes. But you seem to be using that as an excuse for advocating omitting even basic failsafes. That's also not how you do engineering.
