SYSTEM SAFETY The cars must be engineered to respond safely to software

DIGITAL SECURITY The vehicles should be engineered with safeguards to prevent
online attacks. Automakers should record all programming decisions and testing
around security and share that information with others in the industry.
What a lovely idea.
Some time ago I attended a lecture where ResMed described the hoops they had to
go through to get their Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) machine
through the US FDA, and that isn't even a critical safety-of-life device.
I think a situation where the safety of driverless vehicles, which are also
critical safety-of-life devices, only relies on the pious hopes of the relevant
regulator is quite bizarre.
