How do you confirm that a train controller or any other piece of hardware does not contain a backdoor using industry standard software tools?

You can write whatever you want into a contract, but if you have no way to validate it, it's meaningless.

Also, the state-owned (and subsidized) Chinese company that doesn't have to play by the West's antitrust rules doesn't need to worry about your "contagion" concerns.

3rd party audit like everything else?

  • Okay, if you want to pass responsibility off to someone else, how does the third party auditor do it?

    I'm not talking about checking a compliance box, I'm talking about actually confirming no backdoor exists.
