Aircraft crashes like that of Lion Air Flight 610 and collisions of self-driving vehicles can often be reduced to combined failures in the hardware and software components of their underlying systems. Incidents like this seriously challenge the design of reliable and secure systems that operate in the real world and can cope with unpredictable external phenomena and error-prone technology. How should one look at the issues at stake here, from a design philosophical viewpoint?
