The state emissions tests are only meant to catch cars polluting above something like circa-1980 emissions limits. Even flagrantly cheating, a modern car is no where near dirty enough to fail the tailpipe check.

The means are the ends. An organization that disregards safety during product development is not going to have the culture required to actually produce a product that improves safety.
Diamond age had a distributed tuple space, which was kind of similar in effect, enclaves that made their living off of work their computers did for digital pay.
Sounds like my Grandma. For her safety, and everyone else's, she doesn't drive any more.
Having worked at a big company as a mechanical engineer and produced a few crappy VBA apps, I did it because it would take significantly more time and effort to get approval for an IT project, than to learn VBA and do it myself.
Friedman argued it was good for corporations to be greedy, and corporate America liked that idea.
They are (apparently) entering a (high emission) engine protection mode at a time that is not allowed.
It isn't impossible that their excuse, they read the requirements differently, really was in good faith.
That's trademarks.
Because suicide is almost always preceded by years of mental health problems.
It's irrelevant. The swordsmith doesn't get to choose who gets cut down.
Does anyone think it's possible to build autonomous weapons that can't be turned upon arbitrarily chosen populations?
A killbot is (more or less) a mobile booby trap. If we have a problem with madmen leaving booby traps around, we can't solve that by laying more booby traps.
I don't understand why they would issue any statement other than, 'condolences, we're committed to safety, we're working with the NTSB to understand what happened'
That's not the case if you're comparing with AC. You have to use energy (generating more waste heat) to pump heat up a temperature gradient.
