Good man yourself! I still can't get my head around the fact that 
companies fail to provide safety switches that either hand over 
the control (to humans) or at least disable the software based 
components completely by switching the machine off.

I always try to convince people (who don't program themselves) 
that they shouldn't trust software, especially when it comes to 
safety.

Well, it seems like your old Dodge (?) is still the safest option.
