Self-driving cars use about 40Gbits per second, they learn from the past, they use incredibly advanced technology that we should be impressed by. We know precisely how they work. But a self-driving car can't tell the difference between a rock and a packet of crisps on the highway. Some see badly in the sun. They struggle with unmapped roads and with the snow for example. This feels for me how modern businesses are run.

We care more than the process is understandable and the same & robust than the outcomes.
