Simpler is safer: Occam’s safety razor
When it comes to autonomous safety, simpler is almost always better.
That might seem strange. The consequences of an autonomous car breaking are huge – death, injury, damage, and the likelihood that the entire company will go under as a result. You might assume, then, that in order to make such a system safe you need to use every tool at your disposal and then chip away at those that don’t seem necessary. Like how a sculptor might start with a slab of marble which they chisel down into a masterpiece.
