> life-critical software

The article could be clearer on this, but when it refers to "production", I think it means factories and logistics. (At least that's how I put together "production" in the headline with "implementing next-level production processes throughout its plants" from the first sentence.)

In other words, I think they use these algorithms in manufacturing systems, and they aren't putting this software into the cars' computers.



Looks like you’re right on this. Probably wishful thinking on my part that at least one manufacturer would be doing the right thing wrt autonomous vehicles.


It's object tracking and classification, so imagine a 2 ton robot arm swinging around a factory and failing to detect a person in the way.


Factory floors will typically have a light-curtain around things like 2 ton robot arms...
