Abstract

This chapter discusses ethical software engineering and we discuss notable failures such as the space shuttle disaster and the defective Therac-25 radiotherapy machine. We discuss the extraordinary Volkswagen emissions scandal, where engineers designed a “defeat device” that would allow Volkswagen cars to pass emission tests in the United States.
