[SystemSafety] A small taste of what we're up against

[Coq, Thierry]

>>Can anyone give me a real-world example of an injury or death that can be directly linked to the use of C or C++ in an automotive system?

See:
https://users.ece.cmu.edu/~koopman/pubs/koopman14_toyota_ua_slides.pdf
... unchecked critical variables, stack overflow, memory corruption, task deaths, etc....
for example.
One can argue that C is not direct culprit, the direct culprit is a lack of safety culture.  One wonders if there is a correlation between using unsafe tools and an unsafe culture...

Best regards,
Thierrry
