I spent over thirty years of my career working in the manufacture of integrated circuits (i.e. "chips", "microchips", "ICs", "etc.") ... people have no idea how prone to failure these can be. It's very scary what can happen when they fail within the ever-more complex systems they're being put into.
Due to costs, personal vehicles will never have the redundancies, backups, and parallel systems in them that military electronics systems do - and we all read in the news about the failures (and many are kept secret) in these systems.
