I think this will need to change soon.
“Engineers, even at big technology companies, don’t have the authority to make critical safety decisions. If an executive wants to ship self-driving software that has deadly flaws, they can just overrule any objections. Even if you take a stand and quit, the executive can just hire someone else, with no consequences for either management or the new engineer.”
