Bit of a weird opening with the car crash stuff considering that driving is one of the most dangerous actives people do every day, and lots of people still die or are hurt by/from vehicles every day.

Automotive safety has skyrocketed since the 50's, though road safety for non-occupants and motorcyclists has gone down significantly in recent years.

But...it's not weird, it's part of Gogole marketing's altruistic spin on this as "we're protecting everyone!"

Did anyone else notice that they very quickly glossed over "our red team isn't allowed to go after any user data"?

That's like saying "don't worry, our bank's red team isn't allowed to try and go after money."

The red team is only intended to protect their corporate IP/trade secrets and dirty laundry.

I’d be pretty upset if my bank’s red team withdrew my money just to prove they could.
