The Therac-25, a computer controlled radiation therapy machine from 1983, had a software bug that caused it to deliver fatal does of radiation to patients. The machine relied entirely on computer control, and had no hardware based safety interlocks.
The problems eventually led to the IEC 62304 standard.
