That is not what I meant. I meant that the bridge project was touted as a new approach to old bridge building but in theory not so so good. Headless cars in theory may be good but reality is they are not so good.
I agree someone needs to be held accountable.
I've heard both sides of the argument for and against this new approach. The con argument is that building it away from the site and then rolling it into place, introduces stress into the concrete and weakens it, perhaps even cracking it. Traditional method of pouring into place at the site allows it to strengthen over time without weakening or cracking the new pour; much stronger. New approach not so good, as the pro arguments are about saving time and not disrupting traffic, which didn't work out well.
Similar situation with the driverless cars. They're getting the kinks out by testing in live traffic situations, just like stress testing an unfinished bridge over traffic. Can't end well. There will be more fatalities; wouldn't wish it to happen to friends or family. Test them out on employees, not the innocent public.
