How do you see the safety regulator model working in a case like bridges, where safety is already part of the primary function of the system, i.e. a bridge is built to optimize for getting people across a gap they couldn’t otherwise cross, and being better at being a bridge (getting more people across), means being safer (fewer people fail to make it across for deadly reasons)? It’s not entirely clear where we might draw the line to demarcate a safety regulator in such cases where safety is naturally part of the function.
