This isn’t just some email web app that may have a few bugs, it’s putting lives at risk on the road. They shouldn’t be able to just label it a beta, overpromise its capabilities, and neglect any responsibility.

bezerker03@lemmy.bezzie.world 1 year agoI mean… They opted into a beta. Beta means this may happen.

I guarantee that the other drivers on that road didn’t opt for a “beta”.

I just can’t understand how regulators all over the world allow these things on the road. How the fuck do you allow the release of potentially deadly (for everyone involved, not just for the user) software en masse for the public to beta test for you… This is not Diablo IV…

Beta only means buggy piece of shit to people who use software and then mostly gamers. In industries where prototypes can kill people a “beta” product is one that is safe for the intended use. For example, if you invented a new way to do internal scans of people, before you can even test it on humans you would have done extensive testing on animals to know what works, what doesn’t, and what gives them cancer, and have done the modelling to have a strong understanding on if it is safe with humans.
Nobody would tolerate a scanner that gave people cancer, oops

Even if those dipshits “opted in,” the rest of us sharing the road sure as Hell didn’t!
