Webmonday in Darmstadt
The seventh Webmonday takes place, this time on a Tuesday - what a #fail! But this is also the motto of the evening fixed - because it's about bugs, errors and 4.04s - and questions such as: How much culture of mistakes needs corporate culture? Are errors the better mistakes? Is failure really part of the business? Who is liable for driving errors of autonomously driving cars? In their speech "Error with System?" Dr. Michael Kreutzer and Stephan Huber, both Fraunhofer SIT, provide insights into their research: They look for vulnerabilities in software, apps and codes. If they have found them, they alert the manufacturers.
