adamjcook, 9 months ago The #automotive #manufacturing floor is also a safety-critical system - in terms of its impact on employees and in terms of the safety of the public. An improperly assembled automobile is an immediate public safety hazard the very moment it rolls off the lot. It’s not a hypothetical. Maintaining a system safety lifecycle is brutally expensive and much more expensive than one would think. Silicon Valley culture, frankly, just seems incompatible with that reality on multiple fronts.
