I worked in automotive electronics. Our cables use asymmetrical trapezoid connectors made from heavy duty plastic with metal reinforcement. There are mechanical hinges to put things in place and lock them only if everything is aligned.
We still had to do electrical tests against wrong connections because apparently people somehow still force them wrong way around.
I used to repair air traffic control radios and other equipment, everything from glide-slopes and runway lights to the air traffic control console itself.

Whenever mankind manages to make something idiot proof, mother nature builds a better idiot.
I work in automotive R&D, it happens here as well.

I’m going to stop right there.
But did you work with AUTOSAR?
I resigned about when we started the switch to AUTOSAR. I’m happily in medical tech now.
Nicely dodged a major bullet, apparently.
