Not even the gods are allowed to touch them. The chariot set off, Phaethon lost control, scorched the earth and ruined the whole day. The sun continues to rise each day, so I guess in Phoebus's hands it is, and in Phaethon's it isn't. Diane Vaughan pointed out in The Challenger Launch Decision that it flies with aid of an extraordinary organisation devised to reiterate the safety and readiness case in detail for each mission. Without this organisation, few doubt there would be more failures.
Safety involves human affairs as well as hardware and software.
Consider some opportunities. A car company boasts that their new product has more computational power than was needed to take Apollo to the moon. We may infer that high performance, physical or digital, sells cars. A new failure mode, screen malfunction, has occurred in two accidents and other incidents. But display systems are not considered safety-critical.
