Why would you exclude safety-relevant systems, e.g. in the autonomous driving / autonomous flying / industrial control space?

I don't think there's a need to regulate that beyond how it is already regulated.

If you are negligent or malicious, I'm pretty sure you're already liable for any harm caused.

I don't think I've ever heard anyone at Uber being held liable after the Uber car crash (in which Uber disabled the software's capability to do an emergency stop, which is certainly negligent).
