Prediction text
Insecurity of human-authored code will be recognized before insecurity of human drivers is legally. | in the near-term future humans are now judged as insecure authors of code and and insecure drivers of cars... Except we're going to hit that with code, I think, before we fully hit it with with legally with cars.
