Software Safety Risks, Medical Radiation and Eurocopters
The hosts discuss the dangers of software bugs in critical systems, citing a historical case where a faulty backspace key in a medical radiation machine caused lethal overdoses. Adam Curry shares his distrust of highly automated aircraft, noting he once saw a Eurocopter system boot into a Windows-based interface, which reduced his confidence in the vehicle's safety.
