    We can laugh at the title, but the unfortunate reality is cars have more software today then ever before. Autonomous driving is software. The concern always is that motivations of profit will force the engineers to make compromises in software testing and could create dangers for the driving public. And Tesla is not immune from that, though they think and act like a software company. I am more worried about the non Tesla competitors.


    “Clowns supervised by monkeys.” That is how some of Boeing’s (NYSE:BA) own employees described their colleagues in internal messages the company released as part of the investigation into the approval of the controversial 737 MAX.


    The plane, which is currently grounded, went on to kill 346 people in two crashes due to its faulty MCAS software.


    Unfortunately, it looks like the “clowns” at Boeing haven’t learned their lesson. The toxic and ridiculous corporate culture that developed the 737 MAX is alive and well. But this time, it’s putting the future of manned spaceflight in jeopardy.
