“Move fast and break things” became the motto of the software-defined tech industry in 2014. Mark Zuckerberg coined it for Facebook. Those four words encapsulate the belief that speed beats caution, progress requires collateral damage, and that disruption beats tradition. The belief is that moving fast might break things, but those things can be fixed, adapted, or thrown away. Which is fine for a social network nobody really needs, but not so much for cars that people rely on.
