Name a consumer product that doesn’t impact life safety.

Phone notifications do. Logging out software while someone’s driving does. Every button on your car impacts life safety. Every interlock in your kitchen does.

Remember, each of these things gets rolled out 100M’s of times, so one-in-a-million scenarios kill 100’s of people.

Modern engineering exists because of the people that were maimed or died to give us the knowledge that lets us live the way we do today.
