Imagine if Ford published a paper saying it was thinking about long term issues of the automobiles it made and one of those issues included “misalignment “Car as an adversary”” and when you asked Ford for clarification the company said “yes, we believe as we make our cars faster and more capable, they may sometimes take actions harmful to human well being” and you say “oh, wow, thanks Ford, but… what do you mean precisely?” and Ford says “well, we cannot rule out the possibility that the car might decide to just start running over crowds of people” and then Ford looks at you and says “this is a long-term research challenge”.
