Safety in the real world is like privacy online, far less effective
then adveritized. Machines, like buildings and infrastructure, come
with inherent hazards: Deaths and injuries are acceptable costs of
"convenience," "benefits," "jobs," "progress."
Finance and insurance are like autocratic national security,
secretive, vampiric and bloodthirsty, thriving on misfortune of the
unlucky who are targeted by global marketing enterprises and
profitability (branding, influencing, celebritization.

There is one small step between this and removing all agency from
humans (if not already done). It's like company wants to sack
someone, first they make sure that the sackee's job is irrelevant

Well, you are being sacked.
Note that autonomous vehicles are becoming affordable assassination
instruments. It would cost a fortune a decade ago to create robotic
suicide vehicle bomber, so humans were used. Today anyone with basic
skills can buy one of these and hack the controls. It's 100%
software job. Add some ML and the vehicle can pick victims on its
own ("dark skinned males" or "carrying yoga mat" or "MAGA hat", etc.)
" But Boeing isn't planning to overhaul its training procedures. And
neither the F.A.A., nor the European Union Aviation Safety Agency
<https://www.easa.europa.eu/>, are proposing additional simulator
training for pilots, according to a person familiar with the
deliberations. Instead, the regulators and Boeing agree that the best
way to inform pilots about the new software is through additional
computer-based training, which can be done on their personal computers."
