| Sumario: | The article explores computers and their use in the control of safety-critical systems. The author notes that, with few exceptions, software was not directly controlling safety-critical systems until approximately 1980. A diagram is provided of a cyber-human-physical control loop and accidents involving computers, including those involving aircrafts, are described. |
