This is how NASA writes software:

I want the software driving cars around my family to be held to the a similar standard of quality. In the context of self-driving cars, "Move fast and break things" means "Half-arse it and kill people."

Humans in the USA manage 1.16 fatalities per 100,000,000 miles travelled. Uber's software couldn't even get to 3 million miles before it killed someone.

We do this properly, or not at all.

@ifixcoinops That accident was the safety driver's fault, not the software's or the programmers'. It was never intended to be driving the car without a human making sure it was safe.

@ifixcoinops Also, few humans who kill someone have driven 3,000,000 miles before doing so ;-)
