Shouldn’t, but there’s absolutely nothing stopping it, and lazy tech companies absolutely will. I mean we live in a world where Boeing built a plane that couldn’t fly straight so they tried to fix it with software. The tech will be abused so long as people are greedy.

More than just that, they’re shielded from repercussions. The execs involved with ignoring all the safety concerns should be in jail right now for manslaughter. They knew better and gambled with other people’s lives.
