The reliability of software is so bad this is an absurd comparison.

The reliability of software is so bad this is an absurd comparison.
- dtech 1y agoThis is a safety standards issue not a "software" issue. Standards for airplane software are very high Most planes have been fly-by-wire for decades and aren't regularly falling out of the sky

- rrrrrrrrrrrryan 1y agoI work for a medical device manufacturer, and software absolutely can be designed to be just as reliable as physical systems, but the development and testing process looks completely different than a developing a mobile app. Things slow WAY down: if you want to change one line of code, it'll take literally weeks before it makes it to a production environment because of all the testing, documentation, justification, and human approvals. I imagine flight safety systems are subject to a similar level of rigor.

"Richard Hipp: Getting that last 5% is really, really hard and it took about a year for me to get there, but once we got to that point, we stopped getting bug reports from Android. "Richard Hipp: Yes, so we’ll do billions of tests."
