Railways were the company whose data were deleted. From the text above: "[Railway] resolved the issue and restored the data," Railway confirmed via email to Live Science. "We maintain both user backups as well as disaster backups. We take data very, VERY seriously." So there was a DR solution in place, and was enacted. But there were also multiple failures that led to this, yes.

Well, the AI found the key. It wasn't given the key. It wasn't given permission to delete anything, but found a key that allowed it to. It's more like a kid rifling through his father's drawers and finding a loaded gun. The father didn't give the gun to the kid, but also didn't secure the gun well enough. Here the key should have been better secured. Granted the AI also shouldn't have done the deletion. But we all know AIs are prone to hallucinations, so can pretty much do anything unexpected.

Good point. I occasionally wear glasses when driving that have a mild (-0.25) prescription (they take my 20/20 vision and make it even clearer). But looking at the dash and infotainment display is a slight strain on my eyes. And this is with a very weak prescription. With a stronger lens this would be impossible. So you wouldn't be able to see anything on the screens.

When I pass someone on a motorway I don't move back in into their lane until I can see them in my rear view mirror. That way I know I'm far enough ahead to give them their reaction distance. And I don't need to turn around to look out a window. A glance, and my eyes are then looking forward again. Much safer. I use my rear and side mirrors too ensure I'm situationally aware of who is around me and what they are doing so that I can adjust my driving if needed. Granted it you don't use them you don't "need" them. But you are supposed to use them often.

Low tech, cheap, 3D (depth perception), much higher res, still work when dirty. We don't need tech to replace something that works better than the tech. Cameras and screens are useful, additional, tools (I love my reversing camera). But mirrors and windows are still the better option.
