A 2015 opinion piece examining the safety and regulatory implications of increasingly intelligent automotive software. Using Tesla's autopilot launch, the VW emissions scandal, and an alleged Porsche throttle-delay case as examples, the author questions whether automotive development standards like ISO 26262 and existing regulations can keep pace with AI-driven vehicle control systems. The core concern is that software capable of detecting and gaming test scenarios could introduce serious safety risks beyond what regulators currently anticipate.
