Maybe you've missed the real dumb shit getting out from various tech manufacturers. I'm not a car guy but I know enough about software and manufacturers screwing people to see that criminals and amaturers are not the real issue in regards to saftey or repair.
A Suburu car has a text pop up advert from the manufacturer on display screen, which can't be used for normal functionallity until you click off it. Is that distracting to you? Want to bet it doesn't ever get worse than that when the incentive is there and they're in control? Source: 5m video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gw3KRfy9vQY
When I have time I'll try to recall car specific repair issues that lead to injury. All that comes to mind is OneWheel, and the medical industry screeming death by cost.
