I had to teach myself programming now running a company which has required quit a lot of knowledge which is spread among technical/business/people.

I feel like I'm headed down a similar path myself. Do you have any recommendations for books relating to this? I'm certainly not asking for a huge curated list, but perhaps the top 5 you found most influential would be much appreciated. Thanks.

easy to become reliant on the technology and have a serious accident when a sensor fails (particularly for blind spot detection)

Recently realized this myself when the blind spot detector light went out in our SUV. It's gotten me thinking about how manufacturers would approach a situation like that without forcing the user to undergo (or more accurately ignore) safety tests like a walk-around prior to driving or something similar. Or perhaps the intended use of these sensors should be stated as supplementary - ie "do not rely on them without verifying it's safe to merge yourself"? People would ignore that too. It's an issue I haven't really seen a solution to anywhere.
