Gregory's Server@kentindell @ashmueli @nuthatch @danluu I would hope a problem with actual safety while moving is the root of this. Being stranded could be a safety issue. Vehicles have been computerized for decades and have always had a limp home backup for this reason. I would regard this as a design problem. My career covered analog to bus systems.

 @ashmueli @kentindell @nuthatch @danluu the specifics are important and I might agree with a shutdown if I knew them. I see no reason that most systems can't shut down or resort to an open loop program 99% of the time though. If it's related to protecting from electrical fields during reflash or network access so it doesn't get bricked during update then it's a stupid mistake. |
@kneworldodor @kentindell @nuthatch @danluu Exactly. It’s a design problem and, unlike, say, space flight, car designers have the option to allow for grounding the car. The question now is, what are the tradeoffs behind this particular case.
