    But not all that surprising seeing it is an add-on to modify handling that changed due to the changed engine position.

    Apparently, the FAA didn't have people on the ground to oversee the modifications, so passed most of the responsibility to Boeing. Mistake.

    Given that this sort of thing (Computer modification of aircraft handling faults) can happen in an environment as safety conscious and controlled as civil aviation - how confident can we be about the safety of 'driver assist' or autonomous software in cars?

    Very good question, JD. There have been reports of deaths & damages attributed to self driving cars in "autonomous" mode.

    I have raised this previously in discussion on autonomous vehicles - it is my view that this (and the related legal questions) mean that autonomous vehicles in other than limited circumstances are a lot further in the future than some proponents think.

    And even 'driver assist' systems are likely to be a contributor to more accidents than they prevent.

    A bit late, What? Another example of cost cutting? for what cost?
