The top comment on that video, in light of the points being made in this thread, is quite ironic:

"And because of this 'improved safety' we have millions of drivers out there who drive even faster and take even more risks, because they think the new cars are so much safer. "

(of course this comment is silly, the number of motor vehicle deaths per capita is about a third of what it was 50 years ago: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_motor_vehicle_deaths_i...)

This is a video of a crash _test_. Personally, I'm not sure TDD is necessarily the answer but even with typed code you should still have tests. You just don't need tests for things covered by the type system.

Of course, it also depends on what the software is being used for. If I create a script for automating something just for me, I don't see any reason to add repeatable tests.

You just reminded me of my old driving instructor.

"All accidents are your fault. Got rear-ended? Shouldn't have been driving so slowly, or shouldn't have stopped. Got t-boned? Should have looked more closely at the intersection. Skidded on ice? Shouldn't have been driving so quickly, or turned so sharply. Yes, you avoided the pedestrian, but that isn't an excuse. In extremis, you shouldn't have been driving that day at all, and you do always have that option, so it's your fault regardless."

The line between empowerment and victim blaming is surprisingly thin. ;)

That was cool!
