   It's kinda funny there is still software coming out whose security model is "constantly ask the user for permission, and hope they never make a mistake".

   It's been tried so many times before, and it never worked.

      I think it's partially for responsibility reasons. Your employee approved the bash call? not our fault then!

         Yep and the car wasn't self-driving at the moment it crashed.

            ...because the self-driving feature turned itself off after detecting the crash in the fractions of a millisecond before the crash was recorded

               "Uh oh, this is a problem. Welp, I'm outta here, good luck."

                  the whole concept of having cars with that are almost capable of self-driving is utterly insane, the very least you'd need special training. We are not equipped to deal with something that works brilliantly most of the times but might kill you for no foreseeable reason.

                     Even pilots are getting this automation-complacency now. A plane crashed because the military jammed GPS and the pilot wasn't used to any backup procedures even though 30 years ago they were the only procedures.

                  How many million dollars do you think will reverse this policy?
