As a software engineer, all I have to do is think that my colleges wrote the auto pilot code, and that would keep me from ever turning the feature on.


This kind of thing makes me think software engineering should require an actual accreditation like a formal engineering job does.


Try to avoid putting your life in the hands of closed source software.


Wouldn't that make it impossible to drive almost any modern vehicle? Or fly in any modern passenger aeroplane?


Or use the healthcare system


I don’t know why open source would make much of a difference in this case. It’s not like open source means guaranteed correctness.


Ok i'll just stop using airlines and GPS, i guess.
