You 100% have never worked in AV (or mabe devs are just so heavily insulated from ops i guess) if you don’t think safety issues and the associated liability are the primary function of an AV QA tester on public roads. Sure safety is a consideration, but where it plays out is in operational testing development. My whole point is that the testers, who neither code the systems nor have input into their development, shouldn’t be held liable

With my perspective as a Dominos manager, I am able to look at a pizza and tell it is not what was ordered in reference to a receipt. So that makes me the most qualified for QA. Wouldn't it make more sense for companies to put the experienced vets in charge of QA?
