    The kind of quality assurance you’re talking about is astronomically expensive

    That might be a valid argument when talking about accounting software with backups in case of fuck ups. We’re talking about cars, on roads, with people sprinkled all around.

      I would suggest against self driving cars for this very reason. The kind of thing in the article is not a hazard while driving.

      It is less valid for accounting software than cars on the road. If you mess up accounting software CEOs go to prison for tax fraud. If you mess up car software it is someone else who dies, but no prison time for the CEO.
